Terrific reading from Miami University Press Novella Prize winner Ashley Honeysett, here signing the last book post-reading for Miami University Press Co-Editor, Professor Jody Bates.
Join us in person or on Zoom for a reading featuring Ashley Honeysett. Her debut novella, FICTIONS, won the 2023 Miami University Press Novella Prize. [Zoom link forthcoming]
About FICTIONS:
Simultaneously novella-in-stories, plague journal, memoir, and meditation on writing, Ashley Honeysett’s FICTIONS illuminates and explores the mind of a storyteller wrestling with the essential strangeness of writing fiction at a time when a common story has eluded us all. A box of finely made enchantments. – Hugh Sheehy, author of DESIGN FLAWS
About the Author:
Ashley Honeysett has lived throughout the United States as well as in Ireland and Japan and is now raising a child with her husband outside of Chicago, where she works as a fundraiser for environmental nonprofits. She studied creative writing at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, and published poetry and prose in journals there and at Michigan State University.
Join HWC for an evening of Poetry + Pizza TOMORROW, April 30th at Howe Writing Center from 6:00 – 7:30 PM. Open mic! Bring your own poetry, a favorite poem, or other creative writing. Listen to readers, eat pizza, and enter a raffle! All are welcome.
Alumna poet Rita Dove will join us virtually for a reading and conversation including creative writing poetry faculty in the Heritage Room, Shriver Center. You can check out a recent Paris Review Interview of the US Poet Laureate Emeritus and Pulitzer Prize winner in which she speaks about her time at Miami and its influence on her.
You can find our Alumni testimonials page here.
Please join us as we host three publishing professionals–Lisa Ampleman, the Cincinnati Review & Acre Books; Kayla Lightner, Ayesha Pande Literary; and Miami Alumnus Todd Seabrook, The Cupboard Pamphlet–who will answer questions about publishing your creative work, as well as careers in publishing.
Each year the Creative Writing Program brings in members of the publishing industry–such as editors, publishers, agents, and authors–often alumni or friends of the program. This year we are doing it by Zoom. Please sign up using the QR code in the brochure or this link:
