Writing Out Loud event

Have you written anything lately? A letter, an e-mail, a memo, a recommendation, a report, an article, a blog, a story, a poem, a book, a series of tweets? I’m pretty sure that almost all us of write something each and every day. The Writing Board wants to celebrate what we write with a special event on campus called WRITING OUT LOUD.  On Wednesday, October 22 from 5:00—7:00 in the Honors Center, we will be hosting a fun and interactive evening in which members of the campus community will come and read what they’ve written. You can read anything. It can be funny or serious, exciting or boring, fiction or non-fiction, G-rated or not. We do ask that you try to keep it to no more than 2 pages. The key is to just show up, participate, listen, and read! If you would like to sign up, please contact Madeline Veitch at x3774 or via email at veitchm@newpaltz.edu and tell her what you plan to read.
