The University of Alaska Fairbanks English Department’s annual Dead Writers event will be from 7-10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25, at the Pub, on the Fairbanks campus.

Members of the public are invited to dress as their favorite dead writer, give a short reading or performance from a dead writer’s work, and compete for prizes. The stage opens to performers at 7 p.m. Audience members are also welcome. You must be 21 or older to attend.

The event, now in its 29th year, is a fundraiser for the UAF English department’s Midnight Sun Visiting Writers Series, which features readings and craft talks by writers from across the country. Tickets are $15 at the door for general admission and $12 when purchased in advance at the UAF Wood Center.
