On February 11, 2010, Normandale Community College will host its first ever Midwinter Writing Festival. Sponsored by the Normandale Writing Center and the Normandale Reading Series, the daylong event will feature hourly presentations on all aspects of writing. Panel presentations will take place between 9:00 and 4:00, including a keynote discussion from Kao Kalia Yang, author of the award-winning memoir The Late Homecomer at 1:00.
There will be over forty panels by professional instructors and authors with topics such as “Memoir: Writing Your Life Story,” “How to Find a Poem Just About Anywhere,” “Jane Austen is not Just for Zombies,” and “Intercultural Communication.” The emphasis of the writing panels will be cross-curricular, including professional, literary, and creative modes of thinking.
A full schedule is coming soon!
