Writers Talk Writing

Join us for our next event on March 11, 2026.

Writers Talk Writing is a conversation series hosted by the UMSL English Writing Program as a space to listen and discuss writing practices and processes with UMSL writers. We are all writers! Professors, students, and staff members in the UMSL community are writing all of the time. In these conversations, we show (and celebrate) the practices and processes of UMSL writers in today’s world.

For more information, contact Dr. Lauren Obermark.

Unofficial Poetry Club

The Unofficial Poetry Club meets throughout the semester to talk about and write poetry. Hear from guest speakers, hang out with other creatives, and write something amazing!
