An Evening with Author Vallie Lynn Watson

The Department of English and Philosophy and the AUM Lectures Committee invite you to an evening with award winning author Vallie Lynn Watson.

Vallie Lynn Watson is the author of the novel-in-flash, A River So Long (Luminis Books, 2012), and her Puschart-nominated short stories and essays appear widely in literary journals such as Bending Genres, PANK, Hobart, decomP magazinE, Gargoyle, Atticus Review, 100 Word Magazine, and Pure Slush. Watson lives in Lake Charles, LA with her dogs Raven and McKay, where she teaches fiction writing in the MFA program at McNeese State University, and edits the magazine Boudin (the spicy online cousin of The McNeese Review). She has two writing MAs, and received her PhD in 2009 from the Center for Writers at The University of Southern Mississippi; she hunts for seaglass, sharks’ teeth, and fossils on the LA and NC shores in her spare time.

Join us on Thursday, April 18 at 6 P.M. in Taylor Center 223 to hear Watson read her work, discuss the craft of fiction, and answer questions from the audience on publishing and the creative process.
