Please join us in a celebration of Ohio State alumni creative writers--and of creating writing at The Ohio State University.
This fall, we are very happy to bring home to Ohio State a dazzling group of both MFA and undergraduate creative writing alumni, who will showcase their new books and also offer wisdom and counsel about the writing life once the Ohio State nest has been fled. All readings and panels are free and open to the public.
