From July 14-26, 2009, the University of the South will host the twentieth annual session of the Sewanee Writers' Conference. Backed by the Walter E. Dakin Memorial Fund established through the estate of the late Tennessee Williams, the Conference will gather a distinguished faculty to provide instruction and criticism through workshops and craft lectures in fiction, poetry, and playwriting.

Although workshops and discussion meetings are limited to program participants, the following lectures and readings are open to the public. The public should be aware, however, that seating is limited; priority in seating will go to Conference participants. These events will be held in the Cushman Room of the Bairnwick Women's Center on Mississippi Avenue, one block south of University Avenue, on the campus of Sewanee: The University of the South.

Please check back in 2009 for an updated schedule for the upcoming conference.
