English Department's Author Readings

The English Department at Campbellsville University is proud to host a series of author readings throughout the year, bringing both emerging and established writers to campus. These events offer students, faculty, and the wider community the opportunity to engage with authors, hear about their creative processes, and experience live readings of their work. Whether through poetry, fiction, or non-fiction, these readings foster a deep appreciation for the literary arts and provide a platform for meaningful conversations between authors and readers.
