CALYX Press and the Benton County Historical Society are collaborating to host writer Katey Schultz, who will read from her recent work and share what she has learned about the dynamic role research can play in the creative process. Local writers with work rooted in research practices are invited to share short (3-5 minute excerpts) from their own work at an open mic following Katey’s reading.
Katey Schultz is the author of Flashes of War, which the Daily Beast praised as an “ambitious and fearless” collection, and Still Come Home, a novel, both published by Loyola University Maryland. Honors for her work include North Carolina’s Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction, the Linda Flowers Literary Award, Doris Betts Fiction Prize, Foreword INDIES Book of the Year award, gold and silver medals from the Military Writers Society of America, the Chicago Writers Association Book of the Year award, and writing fellowships in eight states. She has taught at Interlochen College of Creative Arts, Fishtrap, 49 Alaska Writing Center, StoryStudio Chicago, among many others. She lives in Celo, North Carolina, and is the founder of Maximum Impact, a transformative mentoring service for creative writers that has been recognized by both CNBC and the What Works Network.
