The Mark Webster Reading Series presents emerging writers in a warm and relaxed setting. MFA second-year students in fiction and poetry, each introduced by a peer, will share a sample of their work. Friends, family, and members of the Ann Arbor community are welcome to attend the readings both in-person and synchronously on Zoom.
Emily Zhao is a fiction writer from St. Louis working on a novel about competitive table tennis. Before attending the Helen Zell Writers’ Program, she lived and worked in Washington, DC.
