Literary PUB(lishing) Crawl and Book Signing
March 1, 2016
This year’s Literary PUB(lishing) Crawl will take place Tuesday, April 12, from 3-8 p.m. in Beckman Hall, 404.
This year’s lineup features four authors: Janna Levin, Chancellor Fellow and author of
Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space
and the novel
A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines;
Pico Iyer, Presidential Fellow and author of numerous books of nonfiction, most recently
The Art of Stillness
; Ryan Gattis, author of
All Involved
and the YA novel
Kung Fu High School;
and Gordon MacAlpine, whose new crime novel
Woman with a Blue Pencil
was recently nominated for an Edgar Award. Speakers chat for about 40 minutes, including Q and A. Students hear how each writer came to do what he or she does, and the writers offer advice about developing a career as a writer, words that are often, in turns, encouraging, philosophical, and sensible.
Join us to hear these exciting speakers discuss how they became authors and offer advice about developing a career as a writer.
This event is hosted by the Creative Writing Program of the
Department of English
and Leatherby Libraries.
