SCWA is proud to support the Piedmont Publishing Symposium, a day and a half program May 28 and 29 at Wofford College in Spartanburg designed to provide authors with a learning and networking opportunity among the publishing community in South Carolina and the larger Southeast region.

The symposium is organized by Clemson University Press, Hub City Press, University of North Georgia Press and University of South Carolina Press.

The event will offer eight sessions appealing to different constituencies: academic writers, non-academic writers, publishing professionals, and students and recent graduates who want to know more about publishing.
