The Creative Writing Lecture Series
This schedule is subject to change and more details will be available in the future. Please return soon to check for updates.
The Creative Writing Lecture Series brings renowned writers to Columbia to deliver talks on the subtleties of literary craft. The first year of the series, 2007-2008, offered talks from writers such as Zadie Smith, James Wood, Jorie Graham, Philip Gourevitch, and George Saunders, among others, and covered a range of tantalizing topics. The series continues this year with another extraordinary line-up, among them: Charles Baxter, Helen Vendler, John D'Agata, and Daniel Mendelsohn. The talks are free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Writing Program at Columbia University's School of the Arts.
