Festival to gather Lutheran creative writers. If you*re a writer of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, mark your calendar now for the first-ever gathering of Lutheran-affiliated creative writers. *Called to Create: A Lutheran Festival of Writing at Luther College* will bring together creative writers who have been shaped by the Lutheran tradition. Through readings, lectures, panel discussions, and open-mike events, the festival aims to support and encourage serious writing and to cultivate a community of writers in the Lutheran world. *Called to Create* will take place November 2-4 at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. The 19 confirmed writers include keynote speakers National Book Award winner Walt Wangerin and Marilyn Nelson, Poet Laureate of Connecticut. Other participants include Paul Shepherd, writer in residence at Florida State University and winner of the 2004 Mary McCarthy Prize; poets Joyce Sutphen and Gracia Grindal; and writer-pastor Heidi Neumark, who will preach at the closing service. Come help the conference achieve its goal: cultivating a spirit of community among Lutheran writers and to learn from each other's walks of faith and writing experiences! For more information about the festival, participants, and how to register, visit http://programming.luther.edu/lutheranwriters or e-mail lutheranwriters@luther.edu |
