The Desert Nights, Rising Stars Writers Conference

February 21 - 22, 2020 at Arizona State University

While the Piper Center regularly offers creative writing classes and workshops through the Piper Writers Studio throughout the year, the Desert Nights, Rising Stars Writers Conference is the crown jewel of our educational programming, bringing together over 300 writers from all backgrounds, genres, and levels of experience for two days of literary craft, culture, and community every late February at ASU Tempe.
