The Great Plains Writers’ Conference was co-founded by Professors Charles Woodard and David Allan Evans of the SDSU English Department in 1976 to call attention to contemporary regional writers and their works, and has been expanded through the years to be inclusive of writers and scholars from other regions who have interest in the Great Plains.
We aim to support literary culture by bringing writers and readers together and–in keeping with SDSU’s mission as a Land-Grant University–by making literature accessible to our students and our community.
Please see our mission and contact information if you’re more curious about what we’re up to.
