New University Literary Magazine Hosts Bookfair at Barnes & Noble
Join the staff of The Arkansas International this Saturday at Barnes and Noble
You're invited to celebrate the launch of the university's new literary magazine, The Arkansas International, on Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Fayetteville Barnes & Noble store. The event features a free bookfair, and a portion of book sales will go to benefit the journal.
From noon to 4 p.m., journal staff will host a series of events celebrating literature in the Fayetteville community, including creative writing workshops (open to writers of all ages and genres), and a panel for teachers on the U of A Writers in the School (WITS) program.
Saturday, Oct. 8, is also an Educator Appreciation Day at Barnes & Noble, which means K-12 educators will receive 25 percent off personal purchases and 10 percent off in the Cafe. Community members of all ages are encouraged to attend!
The Arkansas International is a literary magazine produced by graduate students and faculty member Geoffrey Brock in the University of Arkansas Program in Creative Writing and Translation. The magazine features creative work, essays, interviews and reviews by authors from the U.S. and abroad.
