The Norwich University Writers Series welcomes author Miciah Bay Gault to campus at 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 6th, in the Chaplin Hall Gallery. This event is free and open to the public.

Miciah Bay Gault teaches in the MFA in Writing & Publishing program at Vermont College of Fine Arts and is coordinator of the Vermont Book Award. Her debut novel Goodnight Stranger (Park Row Books, 2019) has been longlisted for the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize. Author George Saunders, winner of the Booker Prize and a MacArthur "genius grant," called Goodnight Stranger "a taut, keenly intelligent, and provocative debut….Deeply compelling and enjoyable," while Cosmopolitan declared the novel "One of the best literary thrillers you'll read this year."

Gault's fiction and essays have appeared in The New York Times' "Modern Love" column, Tin House, LitHub, Electric Literature, Salon.com, The Sun, The Southern Review, Agni, The Literary Review, and the anthology Contemporary Vermont Fiction (Green Writers Press, 2014). A graduate of the Syracuse MFA program, Miciah also served as editor of the literary journal Hunger Mountain for 9 years.

This event is sponsored by the Norwich University Writers Series, College of Liberal Arts, and Department of English and Communications.
