Tower Literary Magazine staff members Laurel Parrott, Laurann Herrington, and Ivy Jones at the Broadleaf Writers Conference.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nStudents were able to engage directly with professionals about their own experiences with writing and publishing.<\/p>\n
“The Oglethorpe community is wonderfully engaged in the opportunities Atlanta offers,” said Handler. “When a chance to participate in a writers\u2019 conference or a book festival comes along, I\u2019m delighted to make that connection for interested students.”<\/p>\n
Students attendees represented various student organizations, including The Tower literary magazine and English honors society Sigma Tau Delta.<\/p>\n
For Sigma Tau Delta President\u00a0Ryan Holtzen \u201920<\/strong>, the panel \u201cThree Sides to Every Story: Why the POV You Choose Matters\u201d resonated. “(It) greatly changed my perspective of writing. As someone who mainly writes poetry, the panel demonstrated that I can employ novel writing techniques into my poetry to make a more narrative form.”<\/p>\n“Attending conferences like this one allows a student to learn to see themselves as a literary citizen and a writer,” said Handler. “My hope is that students who attended…heard from well-known authors about the challenges and rewards of writing.”<\/p>\n
“Hearing a published writer\u2019s take on the craft of ‘world building,’ shaping a mystery plot, writing Young Adult fiction, or their road toward publication enhances the classroom experience. Meeting authors and conversing face-to-face begins to demystify the idea of writing as a profession.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":68194,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4554,4556,4552],"tags":[],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-68191","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-career-development","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
