"To be a writer is to be a student of the world and a courier of emotion and experience. I would not exchange my years at Susquehanna University for anything." -- Laurie Hartzell ’06

The Student Writers Series includes both Publication Readings, where contributors to Susquehanna's magazines may read their work that has been published in the magazines, and Senior Readings, where senior writing majors read from their chapbooks in front of an audience of faculty and peers as a part of their final year at Susquehanna.

These events are open to the public. We welcome your attendance and encourage you to support the students and the writing program at Susquehanna.

All events are located in Seibert Hall or the Degenstein Campus Center. For a map of campus, click here.

Senior Reading, 2006 Phil Moyer '06 reads at the publication reading of Essay

"The writing program has been most valuable because of the unique chance to earn a degree in Creative Writing while learning through workshops and one-on-one meetings with living, breathing published authors, who are not only respected by their literary peers but also effective teachers respected by their students. The faculty was enthusiastic about sharing the breadth of their experiences with me, teaching me not just how to write, but also the ins and outs of getting published, getting into graduate school, and the inner workings of editing and publishing several campus literary magazines. Combined with the presence of almost a hundred of my peers in the writing major, this made for a true "community of writers" experience that I don't think I could have found anywhere else." -Zach Macholz '06
