Each year since 1985, the Zale Writer-in-Residence Program has brought a renowned woman writer to the Newcomb Campus. In addition to sitting for a public interview and delivering a reading, the Zale Writer participates in creative writing, literature, and other liberal arts classes; as well as meeting with students in less formal settings. The Program was established by Dana Zale Gerard, Newcomb 1985, and continues to be supported by Dana and by the M.B. and Edna Zale Foundation of Dallas, Texas. It is coordinated through the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women, and facilitated by a working group composed of students, faculty, and staff.

Elizabeth McCracken's books are available at the Tulane University Bookstore, a Barnes + Noble College Bookseller. Books will be available for purchase at the reading and interview.

For more information, please contact the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women at 504 865 5238.
