Event One: Reader’s Theatre
- Hosted by the ELC’s Creative Writing & Literature Interest Group
We seek proposals for personally crafted poems and prose that take on a storytelling / narrative form or include a storytelling theme, and which ideally fit with one of the WR topics. Authors of selected proposals will be invited to read one of their poems at the Reader’s Theatre, a 2-hour event which will include a sharing and discussion session of the authors’ creative writing within the context of “storytelling”.
Regardless of whether poems are published or unpublished, we ask that authors submit a copy of their work. For authors
a) choosing only to read at the pre-event: Proposals submitted with published poems will have the poems removed from the Proceedings; proposals containing unpublished poems will remain intact in the Proceedings
b) opting to be considered for the proposed volume: Only unpublished poems may be submitted.
Ideally, we intend on capping reading participation to 20 authors and 20 general audience members.

- Moderated by invited Writing Roundtable speakers
This 2-hour Pre-Roundtable event combines elements from the Reader’s Theatre and Workshop to form a panel of invited WR speakers and ELC Interest Group members, offering advice on how to incorporate poetry and lesson plans into research and scholarly works for those interested in being published in the tentatively proposed volume of scholarly works.
While we encourage general audience attendance at the Panel, capacity will be capped at 40 total registrants, and priority will be given to Pre-Roundtable event participants.
Proposals are not required for this Pre-Roundtable event. However, we would be grateful if you could prepare, in advance, any questions you might wish to ask in relation to poetry and / or lesson plan focused research writing and publishing, so the panel moderators have the opportunity to consider these appropriately.
