October 18 & 19th
Auburn, Alabama
You are invited to the 4th Annual Auburn Writers Conference’s Artful Crossroads where the Arts Intersect. Please come together and talk not only about craft and publishing, but about the ways in which our words reflect other forms of art. For some, it will be in the creation of characters who happen to be artists, for others, it might be the fusing of literature with another kind of artistic expression such as music, or visual art, or performance.
