The Writers House

A Place to Gather at the Writers House

The Writers House is a place where poets, fiction writers, scholars, journalists, graphic novelists and filmmakers can connect with and inspire students, faculty, staff and the wider community.

What We Do

Think open mics, poetry slams, staged readings, Pulitzer-Prize-winning authors, emerging writers, internships, pizza, space to hang out and write and read, and wrestle with ideas.

Directions

We are located in the Academic Innovation Center. Walking/Driving Directions to The Writers House
