Description:
New River Valley Voices presents the Fall 2018 Juried Reading on Sunday, December 2, 2018 at the Blacksburg Public Library.

Nine local authors will read select short reading from their works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction performed by the winners of the 2018 Fall Valley Voices Writing Celebration.

For the competition, New River Valley writers were invited to submit up to three poems, with a maximum of 65 lines per poem, and/or up to two prose entries (short stories, creative non-fiction, standalone excerpts from a longer prose work) with a maximum cumulative total of 2,200 words. Up to two flash fiction entries, each up to 750 words, were also welcome.

The jury’s selections were based on literary merit and assessment of how the piece complements the overall presented program.

Complimentary light refreshments will be served.

Free and open to the public so bring your family and friends and help support literary arts in the New River Valley!

New River Valley Voices is an all-volunteer group started by local writers to achieve a two-fold mission.

I. To challenge and inspire NRV writers by creating a quality forum within which to share their writing – a place, both literal and figurative, between the extremes of highly competitive literary journals and open-mic venues.

II. To build audiences for the literary arts in our community by refining writers’ performance of their written works; by providing entertaining programs for the public; and by networking and collaborating with writers and supporters of literary art in our community.

New River Valley Voices sponsors bi-annual juried writing competitions, which are followed by public presentations of the selected works.
