President and Mrs. Mark Estepp, the faculty and staff of Southwest Virginia Community College, and the Appalachian Authors Guild, A Chapter of Virginia Writers Club sincerely hope you enjoyed the Appalachian Heritage Writers Symposium and your visit to our beautiful region.
Eagerly looking forward to the Symposium. Hope to see many old friends. And new ones.
I’m looking forward to being a presenter—as well as reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones.
I am so excited just to be in the midst of all the wonderful writers presenting or participating in our symposium. I can’t wait to get those participants involved with kicking their creative gears into Over Drive! Let the fun begin!
Looking forward to another fun and enlighting experience at the SWCC Writers Symposium this year. Always enjoy it.
Cannot wait.
I’m excited to be part of this summer’s symposium!
This will be my first time my wife and I have attended the symposium. We are looking forward to making new friends and sharing.
