We've just applied for funding for 2008. The 2008 Festival will take place from April 7-10 and will feature Lee Smith, Pat Conroy, Thomas Lux, Russell Banks, and Dagoberto Gilb, among others.
Western Carolina University's Visiting Writers Series, the oldest such series in North Carolina, has a long tradition of bringing the best of both established and emerging literary talent to the mountains of Western North Carolina. While the area has a rich literary heritage all its own, the festival seeks to secure that heritage's place on the nation's literary stage by bringing local and national writers together.
