2011-2012 KENTUCKY GREAT WRITERS SERIES

The Kentucky Great Writers Series connects Carnegie Center students with authors in an intimate atmosphere. Mark your calendar for these upcoming reading events. You won’t want to miss it! Each event starts at 7:00 PM with a 30-minute open-mic session to give the audience a chance to participate. At 7:30 the readings by featured authors will begin. Each author will read for 15-20 minutes from a work of their choice. After the author readings, the audience will have the opportunity to get books signed. Locally owned Morris Book Shop will be on hand to sell the Kentucky author’s books.

LexArts has provided funding support for the Kentucky Great Writers series, the Master Class in Fiction and the Master Class in Poetry through its Fund for the Arts.
