Calling All PEL Authors! PEL Author Event scheduled in January

PEL students and alumni who have published in any genre are invited to share their work at our annual PEL Writers in Paradise pre-event reception on January 14, 2017. We welcome fiction and non-fiction books and anthologies; magazine/journal articles, stories, and poetry; news articles; plays; and any other work.

Consider framing a poem or including images of produced plays or other creative presentations of your work, especially if your work is not published in a standard format.

The PEL Pre-Event Reception begins at 5:30 p.m. in Cobb Gallery and concludes shortly after 7 p.m. We then will adjourn to Miller Auditorium for the Writers in Paradise keynote address by author Richard Blanco.

Please note that the Pre-Event Reception is sponsored by PEL and not by Writers in Paradise.

PEL Authors Collection

 

PEL Authors also are invited to consider donating a copy of their book(s) to the Eckerd College Library's alumni authors collection. If you would like to do this, please contact Lisa Johnston, Director of Library Services, at johnstln@eckerd.edu.

If you have other published work you would like to share that is not in book format, the College Archives would like to have the information in case they decide to expand their collection in the future. Please contact Cathy McCoy at mccoycf@eckerd.edu.
