Dear friends of the UND Writers Conference:<\/p>\n

For fifty-seven years, the Writers Conference has served our community on campus, in the region and beyond by bringing the most inspiring and significant writers of our times to Grand Forks\u2014a spot that\u2019s not typically on the list of major book tour spots. Each year, the Writers Conference\u2019s featured authors have shared their stories, entranced audiences and helped us better understand the world around us through the art of fiction, memoir, poetry, graphic narratives and much more.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Writers Conference, \u201cFables & Futures,\u201d draws its inspiration from this mission and another tale as old as time: the fables that have drawn us to the fireside, generation after generation. Since time immemorial, stories have served our community by fostering ties between us. They have allowed us to better understand the world around us and to imagine a better future for all. Stories are not merely decorative; they are the fiber that weaves our community together.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the territory that this year\u2019s \u201cFables & Futures\u201d conference will explore, through three days of inspiring panel discussions, community workshops, open mics, featured author readings and more. We hope you\u2019ll join us\u2014in-person or online via Zoom\u2014from March 25 through 27<\/a>,<\/strong> for what promises to be a riveting Writers Conference!<\/p>\n

\"UND
This year’s UND Writers Conference features three exciting days of author panels, readings, community workshops, open mics, student showcases, and more. The conference will take place march 25-27 at UND.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A stellar array of authors<\/h2>\n

This year, we\u2019re especially honored to feature Booker Prize\u2013 and Story Prize-winner George Saunders, whose brand-new novel \u201cVigil\u201d is taking the book world by storm. Our featured authors also include brilliant, award-winning writers who put their own unique spins on timeless classics. Maria Dahvana Headley\u2019s translation of the epic poem \u201cBeowulf\u201d injects a well-known story of heroism and bravado with an edgy, earnest and contemporary voice. The ghost story and murder mystery find new life in Amber Sparks\u2019s \u201cHappy People Don\u2019t Live Here,\u201d a vibrant novel set in a Minnesota sanatorium converted into apartment complex.<\/p>\n

Ananda Lima\u2019s \u201cCraft\u201d\u2014which was long-listed for the Story Prize\u2014follows a writer\u2019s encounters with the devil, starting at a Halloween party and moving forward through the years of COVID. Megan Kamalei Kakimoto\u2019s story collection \u201cEvery Drop Is a Man\u2019s Nightmare\u201d infuses the lore of her native Hawaii into a contemporary world marked by financial crises, dreams of a better life, and the impact of the Internet age.<\/p>\n

In her novella \u201cH & G\u201d and poetry collections such as \u201cFablesque,\u201d Anna Maria Hong adapts fairy tales and their familiar images to imagine the memories, grief and hope that linger with us after tragedy and loss. Roque Raquel Salas Rivera\u2019s \u201cAlgarab\u00eda\u201d shows how the power of fables and futures can guide us in creating our own mythologies.<\/p>\n

And last but not least, sculptor Beatriz Cortez provides us with a visual look at how fables and futures influence our relationship with art, objects and the physical world around us.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s not just this dazzling lineup that we\u2019ll spotlight at this year\u2019s Writers Conference. Whether you\u2019re a writer, a reader, a community member or a friend anywhere in the world, the UND Writers Conference is here to inspire and serve you. As ever, this year\u2019s conference will feature free and open-to-all community workshops and evening receptions, where you can mingle with our featured authors and chat about storytelling and the arts. At the conference\u2019s community open mic nights, our in-person conference attendees can share their work with a warm and friendly audience.<\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019re also piloting an expanded conference with new scheduled events, including a visit from literary agent Penelope Burns, a panel on careers in creative fields, and more community workshop sessions. The Writers Conference is also bringing our featured authors directly to UND students through classroom visits, informal meet-and-greet conversations and more, in partnership with the Department of English, the Honors Program and the Pride Center.<\/p>\n

Through a student-focused publishing and editing showcase scheduled for Thursday, March 26, we also provide a forum that spotlights the rigorous, hands-on experiential learning that students receive right here at UND.<\/p>\n

A decades-long commitment to Service<\/h2>\n

Through this and more, the Writers Conference is continuing our mission of providing free and open access to the literary arts and humanities\u2014because stories are how we build our connections to one another. Our work is also a testament to UND\u2019s ongoing commitment to the Service core value, which calls on us to \u201cpromote the arts and humanities, which contribute to the cultural vibrancy of the state and help attract and retain talent in our communities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of our mission to serve everyone in our community on campus, in the Grand Forks community, in North Dakota and beyond, all Writers Conference events will always be free and open to all.
