SHIFT

Kory Wells, Author & Mary Carroll Leoson catching the vibe of joy at the Mtsu Write 2024 Fall Conference!
Did you miss it? That's ok-- we have so much more planned for you this year. Let's connect, writers!

We are beyond excited for our conference this weekend. To get y'all pumped up here's an interview between Kathleen O'Connell, who will be leading a book-binding workshop on Saturday and our fall intern Grace Pratt! Join us Saturday on the MTSU campus for book-binding & more fun! Conference info link in comments. :-)

Hey, writers! How are your summer projects coming along? Let us know below.

My goal this summer is to write 1,000 words a day. Some days I exceed that, and others I struggle for 300. But I'm making progress on the sequel to my novel, and I'm giving voice to imagination consistently. I hope you are too!

Warmly, Mary Carroll Leoson
