Feeling Board?*

We’ve got a new great way for you to get more involved with Get Lit! and for us to learn more about you. Our message board is up and running and we want to know what you are thinking, reading, and writing. The message board is a place for you to wonder, read, rant, discuss, and create with other readers and writers, so get your voice out there.

To help get things rolling, we’ll be awarding two free tickets to a headlining event of your choice at the 2010 festival. The tickets will be awarded to the contributor who makes the most relevant, accurate, high quality, and frequent posts as determined by our staff. You can build on an existing thread or start your own, our goal is to hear from you!

Find our message board by going to the Get Lit! Programs website, hover over “Get Involved” and click on “Message Board.” Super simple.

Here’s another yummy tidbit for EWU students, faculty, and staff: you can now access excerpts from the works of 2010 festival authors on Blackboard. So far, we’ve included work from Reza Aslan, Patricia Smith, Victor Lodato, Diana Joseph, Ana Maria Spagna, Susan Rich, and Janet Wong. Download! Read! Teach! Reflect! We’ll be adding more work all the time.

To enroll in the Get Lit! Blackboard site: go to blackboard.ewu.edu, log on, click on Courses in the upper tabs, search "Get Lit," and click "Enroll." Again, super simple.

Thanks for joining the conversation!
