Literary Arts Reading Series
Please join us for the Spring 2024 Literary Arts Reading Series. A list of authors coming soon.
The John Fowles Center for Creative Writing serves to promote and advance the discipline
of creative writing in all its aspects: fiction, poetry, drama, creative non-fiction
The Center offers students and non-students alike an opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for the "written word" and those who write it. Each year a distinguished group of national and international writers is invited to Chapman University, making these writers available not only to the Chapman community, but to the Orange County and, by extension, the Southern California community as well.
Now into its second decade, the John Fowles Center for Creative Writing has invited
to Chapman such national and international writers as, Nobel Laureates Wole Soyinka and Mario Vargas Llosa; Salman Rushdie; Lawrence Ferlinghetti; Charles Bernstein; Edward
Albee; Alain Robbe-Grillet; Maxine Hong Kingston; Raymond Federman; Steve Katz; David
Antin; Dacia Maraini; Luisa Valenzuela; Elias Khoury; Erri De Luca; Gioconda Belli;
Raúl Zurita; Karen Tei Yamashita; Lucian Dan Teodorovici;
