Doug Reitinger of Sheridan, Kevin Holdsworth of Green River, and Valerie Pexton of Laramie will join Colorado's Laura Pritchett in a fiction reading on Thursday, Sept. 18, 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the Goodstein Foundation Library on the Casper College campus. The reading is part of a three-day schedule of Equality State Book Festival events, and is free and open to the public.
Reitinger, Holdsworth and Pexton were selected by Pritchett as winners of the 2009 Wyoming Arts Council creative writing fellowships in fiction.
So come to the fellowship reading -- and stay for wacky children's writer Jack Gantos at 4 p.m. in the Wheeler Auditorium, and Thursday's featured speaker Alexandra Fuller who'll be talking about her latest book, "The Legend of Colton H. Bryant," at 7:30 p.m. in the Aley Fine Arts Center's Durham Hall. These events are also free. Both authors will be signing books after their presentations.
