Beyond the Books: Meet our Iowa Writers and Students!
Beyond the Books: Five Questions for Writers in our University of Iowa Literary Community
Welcome to the 5Q Interview series! Each year, the Writing University conducts a series of interviews with writers while they are in Iowa City participating in the various University of Iowa writing programs. We sit down with authors to ask about their work, their process and their descriptions of home.
