National Unpublished Writers’ Day is an annual event held in partnership between the Clark County Historical Museum, the Writing Center at Washington State University Vancouver, and The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver. The event highlights The Brautigan Library Collection at the Museum, Washington- born writer Richard Brautigan who conceived the idea for a library where anyone could deposit a copy of their unpublished book, regardless of content or quality of writing, and all those folks who wish to create or communicate through writing.
National Unpublished Writers’ Day is free, both in terms of admission and in the spirit of a sixties “happening” with their multiple, simultaneous events and opportunities. We do, however, welcome any contributions and donations. The event will feature a series of “creative stations” and workshops around the Museum, each offering different opportunities to learn or experience something associated with different aspects or kinds of writing. These Creation Stations and workshops serve to highlight a broad approach to writing and offer a wide array of information, theory, and practice for our visitors.
Creative stations will include:
Radio drama
Genealogy and Family History Writing
Writing for mobile media
Salmon Creek Journal
Spontaneous writing a la Jack Kerouac
Make your own zines
Very, Very, Very Short Stories
Comedy Writing
Descriptive writing
Creative Writing
Genealogical History Writing
Writing for role-playing games
Poetry As Survival
Editing/Resume writing
History Writing
