National Writers Series

The National Writers Series is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging world-renowned authors in meaningful conversations in the Traverse City area. Our goal is to create a deeper understanding of issues and ways of life that exist within and outside of our rural boundaries. We are also “raising writers” with programs that help students express themselves, explore the world through reading, develop their imaginations, and think critically.

National Writers Series: Fall Events on the Road
The National Writers Series is branching out this season! While our home will always be the City Opera House, we're going beyond its confines for a couple special events this fall.
