In light of the coronavirus pandemic affecting not only App State’s campus, but the nation at large, the Visiting Writers Series is postponed.
In an email, Susan Weinberg, coordinator of the series, said their department was working to reschedule creative non-fiction author Graham Hoppe, poet Nickole Brown, Jacinta White, and possibly bring a fourth writer “assuming things go back to normal in the fall.”
The tentative schedule for Fall of 2020:
Sept.17- poet Jacinta White
Oct. 1- returning visiting writer, novelist, and 2020 Rivers-Coffey Distinguished Writer in Residence, Jacinda Townsend
Nov. 12 – creative nonfiction writer Graham Hoppe
Nov. 19 – poet Nicole Brown
All events will be free and open to the public.

Our Goal
We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in October 2024!
We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.
Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.
If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
