Who:

Authors of various genres

What:

The tradition of the booksigning event started over 10 years ago in the Greensburg Barnes and Noble and has grown from 3-8 authors (in those early years) to over 40 authors every year at the event. Around 7 years ago, we moved the signing to campus to host our ever-growing gathering of authors. In 2017, the booksigning was hosted for the first time ever at the brand new performing arts center in downtown Greensburg.

Where:

Seton Hill University Performing Arts Center, 100 Harrison Ave, Greensburg, PA 15601

During face-to-face IYWM workshops, the public is welcome to attend a special guest keynote hosted by the SHU Writing Popular Fictions MFA program.
The WPF Alumni Committee collects donations for the Scholarship Basket Raffle that takes place at the workshop in June. All money raised in ticket sales will go to the Writing Popular Fiction Alumni Scholarship Fund. As Alumni of the WPF program, the committee values the impact storytelling and writing has on our lives. The continued support of the WPF program, our fellow Alumni and the scholarship awarded makes it possible for more great works of fiction to enter our lives. This scholarship will be awarded each term to someone with financial need in their final term toward achieving a Masters of Fine Arts in writing popular fiction. Normally, tickets for the basket raffle will be sold throughout the weekend at IYWM registration as well as the costume ball and the book signing. The drawing will be held at the book signing on Saturday evening. Please check after the public forum to see the list of winners. Raffle items will be on display starting Friday afternoon. Capture
