The Write Thing Reading Series is the premiere visiting artist series among Buffalo’s educational institutions. Each semester, Medaille invites poets and fiction writers to campus for readings. Students at Medaille have the unique chance to meet up close and personal with Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award finalists, Guggenheim Fellowship recipients, and some of the most renowned international writers of today – as well as up-and-coming younger writers.
