ABOUT: The Meacham Writers’ Workshop, established in 1985 by UTC Professor Emeritus and Founding Director Richard Jackson, is supported primarily by an endowment funded by the late Jean Meacham in honor of her husband, Ellis K. Meacham to promote writing as an expressive art, and to draw together university and community writers and readers. Her ideal, which we maintain today, was to create an informal atmosphere where nationally known writers, local writers, students, and novice writers and their readers could freely, and on an equal basis, exchange ideas, works, and readings. In order to promote this she asked that the workshops be free and open to all. The program consists of readings, panels and generative workshops at UTC and in the Chattanooga community. The philosophy of the workshop is to provide access to the literary arts to UTC students and underserved members of our community. The conference welcomes non-writers who are avid readers of contemporary prose and poetry, as well as school groups. The conference is open to persons of all age, race, religion, sex, veteran status, national origin, or disability.
