Walter Nathan Literary Initiatives

Thanks to the generosity of Michael and Julie Kaplan, the Creative Writing Program at the University of Minnesota is delighted to announce the establishment of the Walter Nathan Literary Initiatives. This fund supports programming in partnership with Creative Writing to include reading events, an essay prize, and a literary festival that will engage Twin Cities high school students.

This Spring 2024, the Walter Nathan Literary Initiatives will present several literary events, during which members of the University of Minnesota and Twin Cities literary communities can gather to celebrate the vibrant literary culture in the Twin Cities and across the country.
