This year’s Regional MFA Reading, an event that has been a festival mainstay for many years, is now coming to you virtually! This format allows us to present an exciting lineup of readers from five Creative Writing Master of Fine Arts programs across the Northwest. Each school has sent us one MFA candidate to read their work, and students will be introduced by a creative writing faculty member. We are excited to get to know students and faculty members from these programs—this year we have Boise State, University of Idaho, Oregon State University, Eastern Oregon University, University of Montana, and of course our own Eastern Washington University represented. We hope you’ll join us to hear fiction, nonfiction, and poetry readings from our region’s rising talents!

This event is virtual and will premiere at the time scheduled above. YouTube link coming soon!

Surveys help our program obtain critical grant funding. Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete our survey after you've attended any of our events! If you enjoyed your experience and want to donate to our program, please use this link!
