Zone 3 Writers Festival
Zone 3 Press and the Creative Writing Program at Austin Peay State University are pleased to announce the inaugural Zone 3 Writers Festival! This event is hosted on Austin Peay State University's Main Campus in Clarksville, TN.
HUMANITY is the theme of this year's festival. We invite proposals for individual papers, panels, workshops, and readings of creative work that investigate the human experience. This year, festival attendees have the opportunity to attend craft talks and readings led by professional writers, participate in generative writing workshops, attend informational panels on writing and the writing industry, and meet with APSU creative writing faculty.
Submit your proposal here.
