Sponsors, Donors, and Vendors

Thank you to our community, our sponsors, and our donors for supporting the work of the UND Writers Conference.

The UND Writers Conference would like to express our gratitude to our sponsors, donors, supporters, and vendors for making this year's conference possible. This year's conference, "Fables & Futures," is possible because of the generous support provided through grants, sponsorships, promotional support, and individual donations. All of you make the Writers Conference possible—and we're honored to have your support as we strive to make access to literature, creative writing, and the arts free and accessible to all.

On-Site Vendors & Exhibitors

The UND Writers Conference would like to thank this year's on-site vendors and exhibitors: the UND Bookstore and North Dakota Quarterly.

The UND Bookstore is the official bookseller of the UND Writers Conference. On each day of the conference, the UND Bookstore will be on-site to sell books by this year's featured authors and artists. Books are also available for purchase at the UND Bookstore before and after the conference.

North Dakota Quarterly is one of the oldest and most prestigious literary magazines in North America, with a history that extends to the early days of UND itself. As part of experiential-learning practicum courses, students in the UND English Department's certificate programs in Creative Writing and Writing, Editing, and Publishing gain hands-on experience as editorial assistants for issues of NDQ.
