Look for Doug back on the “Imus In The Morning” to talk about Afghanistan.

Here’s an interview I did announcing the kick-off of the National Writers Series 2010-2011 season, with columnist Amy Alkon.

About The National Writers Series

The Traverse City National Writers Series is an exciting new event bringing some of the brightest celebrities of the literary world to Northern Michigan.

Founded in 2009 by New York Times best-selling author Doug Stanton (“Horse Soldiers,” “In Harm’s Way”), investigative journalist Anne Stanton and attorney Grant Parsons, the National Writers Series is dedicated to bringing to life great conversations with today’s best-selling authors, journalists, and premier storytellers in a lively setting.

Each month, a new author will appear for an “up close and personal” evening of discussion about literature and storytelling, as well as entertainment reflecting the author’s unique style, personality, or genre.  The events are designed to be the dinner parties you always wished you could go to; the discussion is witty, thoughtful, and sometimes outrageous – and 500 fellow writing lovers will join you in a exquisitely restored 19^th century opera house near the shore of Lake Michigan.

The National Writers Series is partnering with major publishers and editors, schools, teachers, libraries, book clubs, bookstores, writers’ groups, and business to bring the best of American – and world – literature to Traverse City.

Our Mission

The Traverse City National Writers Series supports Grand Traverse area high school students pursuing writing careers by bringing to life great conversations with today’s best-selling authors. Net proceeds from events are donated to a dedicated scholarship fund with the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation.
