Santa Fe Community College’s Library and Creative Writing program present the Fall 2024 Writing Generation Series beginning September 18. Each author will read at an introductory session. The following week the author will engage the participants in a writing exercise/creative session. Attendees can go to any of the sessions by registering just once at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WriGenFall2024. The sessions begin at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays and will feature these authors: Carla Crujido (September 18 reading; September 25 creative session); Kasia Merrill (October 23 reading; October 30 creative session) and Jake Skeets (November 13 reading; November 20 creative session.) Registrants will receive a Zoom link via email the morning of each event.
Valerie Nye, SFCC Library Director and associate professor Austin Eichelberger from the Creative Writing program are coordinating the series, which was launched last spring. The sessions are free and open to the public.
“We were thrilled by the positive response the series received last spring,” Nye said. “Participants were emotionally moved by the authors’ readings and inspired by the creative writing sessions. The online format allowed people to join from throughout the region, as well as other parts of the country.”
Eichelberger added, “We’re excited to offer a new line-up of diverse voices. The talented writers certainly will spur attendees to explore their own voices in writing.”
The following authors will participate:
