Malone Writers Series

Interact and learn from established and emerging authors

The Malone University Writers Series features contemporary authors who directly engage with or express Christian values and those who do not because we believe that good literature tells truths about our relationships to one another and the natural world. Each school year, we invite emerging and established writers to campus to offer masterclasses for students and to share readings with the wider community which are open to the public–free of charge.
