The reading is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be lots of really good and improved work,\u201d Renee Ramsey, APSU graduate student and club member, said. \u201cThese writers have been bringing their work to the meetings, and we\u2019ve workshopped them there. It\u2019s a great group of writers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>APSU students organized the club two years ago to provide the campus\u2019 creative individuals, regardless of their major, with an opportunity to workshop their writing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t really have a student-based writer\u2019s community,\u201d Sarah Key, club vice-president, said.<\/p>\n<p>The formation of the writing club created that community, and the enthusiastic students now regularly attend readings, take literary road trips and host special events, such as last fall\u2019s Playfest at the Roxy Regional Theatre. Last year\u2019s inaugural Spring Reading event even drew a larger crowd than the club members expected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe packed the ballroom last year,\u201d Key said. \u201cWe ran out of programs. We were overflowing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So be sure to arrive early for this year\u2019s reading, and enjoy the free coffee provided by the club.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the CWC or the reading, contact Ramsey at <a href=\"mailto:rramsey6@my.apsu.edu\">rramsey6@my.apsu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; For the last year, a group of talented Austin Peay State University students has met once a week to challenge and inspire each other toward creating publishable works of prose and poetry.
