Story Week Story Week Festival: Sci-Fi Fantasy

From March 15-21, the Columbia College Chicago Department of Creative Writing presented its 19th Annual Story Week Festival of Writers. Story Week 2015 offered a schedule jam-packed with readings, conversations with authors, panels, performances, and book signings at venues throughout Chicago—all free and open to the public.

Authors readings included Jay Bonansinga's reading from the first book of the Woodbury quartet from The Walking Dead series and Audrey Niffenegger's reading from her sequel to The Time Traveler's Wife. The readings are followed by a Q&A and tips for writers.
