Senior English major Lisa Snyder recently attended the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Annual Conference. This year’s conference was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, and without the A.J. Palumbo student research grant Ms. Snyder would not have been able to attend. While there Ms. Snyder had the opportunity to interact with other students, writers and professors as well as attend seminars. She had the opportunity to interview several writers and professors about their individual writing processes, what inspired them to become writers, and the steps that led them to where they are in their careers today. Ms. Snyder will use the information provided in the interview to write an article to be submitted for publication. This article is intended for those who enjoy creative writing and may desire to pursue a higher degree within the field.
