North Carolina has a rich heritage of fostering talented authors. Join us online for conversations with three well-know writers and learn about their books and writing process.

Lee Zacharias, the author who will feature in our January conversation, has written a collection of short stories and three novels. She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council. She is a two-time recipient of North Carolina's Sir Walter Raleigh Award and has won Southern Humanities Review's Theodore Christian Hoepfner Award along with other numerous literary awards.

Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in numerous journals. Ten times her essays have been named Notable Essays of the Year by The Best American Essays. For a decade she served as editor of The Greensboro Review. She holds degrees from Indiana University, Hollins College, and the University of Arkansas, and has taught at Princeton University and the University of North Carolina Greensboro, where she is Emerita Professor of English. Zacharias has also taught at many conferences, most recently the Wildacres Writers Workshop. The University of North Carolina College of Arts and Sciences, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors, and the Southeast Modern Language Association have all recognized her with awards for teaching excellence. She currently lives in Greensboro.
