Three members of UNC-Asheville’s Master of Liberal Arts program (Maryedith Burrell, Ann Barrett and Jessica Pepper) will read their work during the February “Writers at Home” event, held at Malaprop’s on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 3 p.m.
From a press release:
“Burrell has written for studios and networks such as Disney and NBC, starred in the TV series, ‘Parenthood,’ and had recurring roles on ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Home Improvement.’ She is currently teaching a screenwriting course in the Great Smokies Writing Program.
“Barrett, a recent graduate of the Master of Liberal Arts program, was a hairdresser before becoming an essayist and poet. ‘To be a successful hairstylist,’ said Barrett, ‘one must give a wicked shampoo. To be a successful writer, one must write.’
“Pepper, a current Master of Liberal Arts student, only recently decided to share her creative writing in public. She loves to tell a good story and make people laugh.”
