We’ll soon have information posted on the 2020 Great Plains Writers’ Conference, which will take place at the South Dakota State University campus in Brookings, SD on Saturday, April 4.

We’ll bring in a couple of featured authors who got snowed out last year (Jim Reese and Adrian Koesters) as well as poets Lee Ann Roripaugh and Vince Gotera.

Stay tuned for more information!

Due to worsening weather and campus closures tomorrow, we are cancelling ALL THE EVENTS associated with this year’s Great Plains Writers Conference.

The readings and book launches are free and open to the public, but we require registration for the workshops. Our registration deadline has been extended to midnight, March 25. Please email tiffani.pirner@sdstate.edu to register. Thanks.
