Have you ever wondered how an indie press or magazine gets started? Have you ever been curious about the practical skills needed to create your own anthologies or zines? Please join us for
a talk/Q&A with current MFA students and graduates of Eastern Washington University’s creative writing program on the ins and outs of independent publishing; the discussion will include both getting your own work published, and also becoming the publisher! EWU's MFA program offers many opportunities to gain practical skills that can help open doors in the world of publishing, and our current students and alumni are here to help demystify the process. For one hour, speakers will give an inner look into working with presses such as Willow Springs Magazine, Willow Springs Books, Banana Slug Books, and Croak Lit Magazine. For the last hour, there will be an opportunity for individual conversations, connections, and personal help with publishing or press projects—feel free to bring something you’d like to work on!
This event is free and open to the public, but capacity is limited (30) so please arrive early to guarantee a seat.
Purchase the authors' books via our official festival bookseller
Auntie's Bookstore!
