Top Southern writers and scholars meet every October at Mississippi University for Women to participate in the Eudora Welty Writers’ Symposium. The event was established in 1989 and is sponsored by the University Humanities Division.
Audiences listen to Southern writers who read passages and discuss their individual works, and each year a theme is chosen. The symposium not only attracts established writers, but it has established a reputation for showcasing new talent.
