Nimrod Conference for Readers and Writers

 

Save the date for Nimrod’s October Conference for Readers and Writers, this year on Friday, October 18th and Saturday, October 19th at the Allen Chapman Activity Center at The University of Tulsa. The Conference will feature classes on fiction, poetry, memoir, young adult fantasy, and finding a literary agent, as well as one-on-one editing sessions, readings, and panel discussions. We’re still in the planning stages, but guests so far include National Book Award finalist Cristina Garcia, author of the bestselling novels Dreaming in Cuban and The Matador’s Hotel; award-winning poet and teacher Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of Lucky Fish and Miracle Fruit; and New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz, whose twenty-one titles include eight novels, one collection of short stories, and twelve works of nonfiction/memoir—among them Dog Days, and The Dogs of Bedlam Farm. Check back this summer for more detailed information on the schedule and guests.
