This week, our creative writing program hosted the incredible Yangsze Choo! Her Q&A, craft talk, and book signing was such an amazing opportunity for our students and faculty to learn about the writing process from the perspective of someone who began writing later in life, and who had not ever taken a creative writing class. If you’re looking for the next novel you want to read, check out The Ghost Bride, The Fox Wife, or The Night Tiger! taken in The University of Alabama by @ua_creativewriting
