UC San Diego’s New Writing Series invites local, national, and international authors to read and perform throughout the academic year. Welcoming a wide range of authors and genres, including playwrights, poets, translators, essayists, critics, fiction writers, and performance artists, the New Writing Series celebrates both emerging and established award-winning writers. Readers also include Department of Literature faculty and graduate students in the MFA Program in Writing. The readings are followed by in-depth question and answer periods that center on craft and artistic practice.
The New Writing Series is co-sponsored by the Department of Literature and the Division of Arts and Humanities, as well as the UC San Diego Library’s Special Collections & Archives.
The events are free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
Recordings of New Writing Series readings, as well as its predecessor, the New Poetry Series, which dates back to 1972, are part of the Archive for New Poetry in the Library’s Special Collections & Archives.
Find more information about the New Writing Series on the UC San Diego Literature Department’s website.
