Summer Reading Series

Each week during the workshop, we present one of our six current instructors reading their best new work from recent books, unpublished stories, or novels-in-progress. The featured reader also answers questions about writing, teaching, editing, and other topics.

This year’s readers are: Paul Park on June 24, Mary Rosenblum on July 1, Cory Doctorow on July 8, Connie Willis on July 15, Sheree R. Thomas on July 22, and Chuck Palahniuk on July 29.

The first five readings will be held at University Book Store in Seattle’s University District, 4326 University Way NE. The sixth and final reading will be held in University of Washington’s Kane Hall. All readings are free, and all begin at 7 p.m. Free tickets are required for Chuck Palahniuk’s reading at Kane Hall on July 29. Pick up your tickets at any of the first five readings, or at University Book Store beginning Wednesday, June 25.

University Book Store will sell our readers’ books at all events. Authors will be available to sign their books at the first five readings. For Chuck Palahniuk’s appearance, pre-signed books will be sold, since there will be no autograph session following his reading.

The 2008 Clarion West Summer Reading Series is presented by Clarion West and University Book Store. It is co-sponsored by Poets & Writers magazine and King County 4Culture.
