George Mason University’s Creative Writing Program joins Watershed Lit and Mason’s University Libraries in presenting the Fall 2023 Visiting Writers Series, including poets Shane McCrae and Dan Beachy-Quick, short story writer Ruth Joffre, and memoirist and novelist CJ Hauser.

Six George Mason University students were awarded $500 each as winners of this year’s Spring Writing Contests. The contests are an annual tradition presented by the English Department’s Creative Writing Program.

Anna Persky, a fiction candidate in Mason’s MFA program, has had her thesis brought into the spotlight in an extraordinary way. She’s been interviewed by two primetime televisions shows—20/20 on ABC and Dateline NBC—about the true crime she’s researching.
