Writing the Midwest: A Symposium of Scholars and Creative Writers
May 12-14, 2011 Michigan State University Union, East Lansing, Michigan
The Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature is devoted to the study and production of Midwestern literature in whatever directions the insight, imagination, and curiosity of the members may lead. The annual symposium brings together writers, scholars, and filmmakers to present criticism, poetry, fiction, one-act drama, and creative nonfiction.
The Society offers $250 prizes for the best poem, creative prose piece, and literary criticism read at the conference. There is also a $250 prize for student work in any genre, and winning entries are published in MidAmerica. Critical work presented at the conference may be also submitted for inclusion in one of the Society’s two refereed publications, MidAmerica and Midwestern Miscellany.
