Drexel University's Week of Writing begins on Monday. I run WoW with the help of some colleagues and students. It started three years ago and has grown each year. If you are interested in writing, blogging, literature, poetry, all manner of things, I'm sure you'll find something of interest. See the full schedule. All events are free and open to the public and take place on Drexel's campus, on Chestnut Street just off of 33rd Street, in Philadelphia.
