About the Reading
In 1989, Professor Art E. Stringer founded Marshall University’s Visiting Writers Series (VWS), a program that invites 6-8 authors every academic year to Marshall University, meet and talk to students and to the community, and to give public readings. In 2012, the series was renamed in Professor Emeritus Stringer’s honor as the A.E. Stinger Visiting Writers Series. The readings are always free and open to the public. Our goal is to encourage a vital conversation about writing between writers, students at Marshall University, disciplines on campus, and the larger communities in and around Huntington, WV and the Tri State.
