Abigail Thomas to judge Nonfiction segment of ALR's literary contest

Here in the UNT Creative Writing program, we're a tribe of Abigail Thomas fans. Many of us were introduced to her work via reading Safekeeping in Bonnie Friedman's advanced nonfiction writing classes, others were introduced to it by Bonnie's students when they began to teach undergraduate creative writing classes, and some of us were lucky enough to stumble upon Abigail Thomas by ourselves. So, you can imagine how stoked we were when Anne McCutchan confirmed that Abigail Thomas is going to be reviewing the nonfiction finalists of our 2012 Literary Contest and selecting a winner.

So, all the more reason to submit your work to American Literary Review before October 1st!
