In Print: Ball State’s Festival of First Books

As its name suggests, the In Print Festival of First Books is a two-day event bringing writers who have just published their first books as well as an editor from a small press or literary journal to campus to give readings, talk about their experiences getting published, and work with our students.

The festival will be held in Spring 2013 in the Student Center Ballroom.
