The Hughlene Bostian Frank Visiting Writers Series and Appalachian Journal present the Fall 2019 season, which will highlight the work of four nationally acclaimed Appalachian authors.
The Visiting Writers Series is named in honor of the late Hughlene Bostian Frank (class of 1968), a 2013 Appalachian Alumni Association Outstanding Service award recipient, past member of Appalachian's Board of Trustees and ASU Foundation, and generous supporter of Appalachian State University. The 2019-20 Visiting Writers Series is dedicated with gratitude to the memory of Hughlene Bostian Frank and her husband, William Frank, who passed away tragically in May 2019.
Admission to all events is free and open to the public. Book sales and signing will follow the talks and the readings.
