We're less than a month away from ECU's 15th annual Scissortail Creative Writing Festival! As in previous years, the festival showcases some of the greatest writing talent from the region (throughout Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and even a few from New York, Chicago, Santa Fe, and elsewhere!). If you've never been, we encourage to to attend one of the many festivals throughout the day and night on April 2nd, 3rd, and 4th! You can find the full schedule here: http://ecuscissortail.blogspot.com/2020/01/2020-schedule-of-readings.html)
Each session will feature 3-4 writers (poets and prose writers), with a chance to purchase their books afterwards at the book table outside of the Estep Auditorium (in the Cole Student Center). Our special featured readers will perform at 7:00 on Thursday and Friday evening, as well as at noon on Saturday. Attendance is always free--though most attendees leave with a book or two (or twelve). Remember, too, that authors are more than happy to sign their books between sessions or after one of the featured readings!
We will also be recognizing winners of the Undergraduate Writing Contest on Friday, April 3 at 7:00 and the Darryl Fisher High School Creative Writing Contest on Saturday at noon.
Any English majors that wish to volunteer their time at the book table or for other duties regarding the festival should contact Dr. Ken Hada as soon as possible at khada@ecok.edu (or go talk to him in his office). But even if you don't volunteer, please consider attending and share this unique experience with other members of the English and Languages community!

See you soon!
