Spalding University’s Festival of Contemporary Writing

Spalding University’s Festival of Contemporary Writing takes place November 12 – 17, with readings by faculty and guests of the Sena Jeter Naslund-Karen Mann Graduate School of Writing and its flagship low-residency MFA. Critically acclaimed young adult author Randy Ribay, winner of the Spalding Prize for the Promotion of Peace and Justice in Literature, headlines the festival as Distinguished Visiting Writer. The festival is Kentucky’s largest fall-spring reading series.

All readings and events are free and open to the public, but reservations are required for the Ribay event. Masks are encouraged for all in attendance; please note that the University’s masking policy may change without notice to reflect the current Covid-19 situation. Plenty of free parking is available for the campus readings.
