2019 UTV Reading Fellows
Under the Volcano Reading Fellows are exciting writers in the early stage of their careers who will offer additional written critique to participants in the prose workshops and stay on to write during the extension residency. They will be available to meet one-on-one with extension residents who want additional feedback on their work. We are thrilled to welcome the 2019 UTV Reading Fellows as part of our expanding community of writers.
