Creative Writing Read-a-thon

The Creative Writing Committee of the LaGuardia English Department is happy to announce our Fifth Annual Creative Writing Read-a-Thon for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Come celebrate our multi-talented LaGuardia community and National Poetry Month by sharing your work during an afternoon of back-to-back five minute readings from 2:30 to 5pm on Wednesday, April 10th in the Cobblestone Courtyard (Poolside Café in event of foul weather). All genres of creative writing are welcome - stories, poems, personal essays, plays - as are all LaGuardians, from any department, full and part time, whether creative writing is your main focus or one of your many avocations.  There's only one rule: keep it to five minutes or less, so plan on finding a reading that will fit.  Light refreshments will be served.

We had a wonderful event last year at our fourth annual event, and we expect slots to fill quickly this year, so please contact us to sign up as soon as possible. Also, if you know students who have work to read, please have them email us to sign up. Let us know which half-hour interval between 2:30 and 5 would work best for you and we'll put you on the list!

Contact Carrie Conners, cconners@lagcc.cuny.edu, or Christopher Schmidt, prof.schmidt.lagcc@gmail.com, to sign up for a slot or with questions.
