Writers Series

Writers Series

For over 50 years, the Writers Series at St. Lawrence University has brought Pulitzer Prize winners and groundbreaking voices in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction to campus. Through classroom visits and public readings, students and community members alike get the chance to connect with some of today's most innovative writers. 

Writers Series author readings are typically held on Thursday evenings in Sykes Common Room at St. Lawrence.  The events are free and open to the public.  Sykes Common Room is a comfortable, elegant space with a handicapped entrance directly into the Common Room from Park Street. Refreshments are provided.  The authors read from their works for approximately 45 minutes, answer questions, and participate in a book signing.

This year, we proudly celebrate 25 years of the Viebranz Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at St. Lawrence University! Since 1999, this distinguished position has brought nationally recognized writers to campus to inspire, teach, and connect with our literary community. From leading creative writing courses to hosting discussions at the historic Kohlberg House, the Viebranz Professors have shaped generations of storytellers.
