Winter Wheat '06 planning is already under way! This year's festival will fall on November 9-12, 2006, on the campus of Bowling Green State University. Scheduled guests already include David Baker, Dan Chaon, Tyehimba Jess, Debra Marquart, Jean Thompson, and the ever-present Gabriel Welsch.

Registration forms and other information will appear on this site in September, but if you're interested in attending and want to know about fees, group rates, and scholarships, or if you want to propose a session or panel for the festival, contact festival coordinator Karen Craigo at (419) 372-7565, or at karenka@bgnet.bgsu.edu . Everyone is invited to be a part of the fun, no matter what level of experience a writer you are. We are always looking for people who want to be involved.

If you are particularly interested in the creative nonfiction forum and panel on Thursday, November 9, or creative nonfiction at Winter Wheat in general, contact Karen Babine at (419) 372-6804, or kbabine@bgnet.bgsu.edu .
