Steven Sherrill is not only an associate professor of English and integrative arts at Penn State Altoona, but an author of three novels*; one of which, Visits from the Drowned Girl, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. His presentation will touch on character and plot development in his own work and techniques culled from his wildly popular intensive novel writing workshop offered each summer at the University of Iowa. 

*He is also an accomplished painter and a novice banjo player!
