We are thrilled to present one of our most longstanding festival events, our Regional MFA Reading! This event features 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
Trey Hayden from Boise State,
Trixie Zwolfer from University of Idaho,
Ellison Rose from Oregon State University, Western Colorado University's
Rebecca Williams, and of course,
Abby Shaffer from 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!
