San Diego State University’s Creative Writing Program

The Living Writers Series began at San Diego State University over twenty-five years ago, and thus has achieved recognition as one of the longest continuously running reading series in the nation. Shortly before the new millennium, Mr. Hugh C. Hyde generously endowed the reading series, thereby ensuring the continuance of its mission. Through the years, the series has brought to San Diego prominent and emerging poets and writers for readings, workshops, salon discussions, and classroom lectures.
