UNCA's Writers at Home Series Continues

UNC Asheville's Writers at Home Fall 2002 series continues with readings by authors Marjorie Hudson and David Schulman at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at Malaprop's Bookstore/Café, 55 Haywood St., downtown Asheville. Writers at Home is part of the Great Smokies Writing Program, a consortium of Western North Carolina writers and UNCA's Creative Writing Program. The event is free and open to the public.

Hudson has published fiction, poetry and essays in Story, Yankee, Pembroke and North Carolina Literary Review. Her poems are anthologized in Poems from the Heron Clan. Her first book, "Searching for Virginia Dare: A Fool's Errand," mixes fiction, travelogue and memoir. Hudson received her M.F.A. in creative writing from Warren Wilson College.

Schulman, a frequent contributor to Our State magazine, recently won first place in Greenville's Creative Loafing Magazine fiction contest. He also won the N.C. Press Club's Best Personal Columnist award for 1994-1995. Schulman has just completed writing his first novel, based on a 1936 incident in Asheville history.
