The Antrim Writers Series
Over the past few years, I've been lucky enough to coordinate the Antrim Writers Series, where Michigan writers come to Antrim County to read their work and lead a writing workshop for our area residents. Each author gets to create a piece of writing celebrating our county's (many) natural areas, which is displayed on a sign and placed on location. Learn more at crosshatch.org/writers.
Past authors include Anne-Marie Oomen, Jerry Dennis, Keith Taylor, Brittany Cavallaro, Mary Kay Zuravleff, Fleda Brown, John Mauk, Des Cooper and Christine Maul Rice.
