Join American Short Fiction for the first installment of Story Sessions, a literary series that brings exceptional authors together for a freewheeling discussion about the power of stories and the ways we share them, on September 27, 2024, at Huston-Tillotson University from 6 – 8:00 p.m. We’re thrilled to welcome the nationally award-winning novelist Percival Everett to the stage alongside the distinguished poet and National Book Award finalist Roger Reeves.

This event is free and open to the public and ASL interpretation will be provided. Books will be available for purchase onsite from Alienated Majesty, a bookstore and community space in Austin, Texas, specializing in small press fiction, non-fiction, poetry, comics, and works in translation. More info is available on our website here.

Parking info: Public parking is available at the lot on Chalmers Ave. A limited number of accessible parking spaces are available on campus right next to the venue, King-Seabrook Chapel, and there is direct ramp access into the building. (You can also view this campus map here to orient yourself.)

Special thanks to the City of Austin Economic Development Department, Humanities Texas, and the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation for their support of this project and to our partners at Huston-Tillotson University and the University of Texas John L.
