Front Range Community College’s creative writing program is partnering with the Horror Writers Association, Colorado, for an online reading and Q&A on Thursday, October 12, from 6 to 8 pm Mountain time. The goal is to bring together local authors who are publishing in the horror genres, with up-and-coming writers.
Five HWA CO authors will do a short reading of their works, showcasing the range that the horror genre has to offer, before answering questions from the audience about writing as a profession, being a horror author, and more.
This is an online event that will take place via Zoom. To join on Thursday, October 12, at 6 pm MT, click here.
