What’s Current?

The 2025 FUSE Conference was held from February 6th–9th at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania.

Additionally, faculty advisors presented on the subject of financial sustainability.

Tucker Leighty-Phillips, author and Publicity Manager of Appalshop, spoke about DIY promotion and coalition building in literary communities.

Jessica Nirvana Ram, author and FUSE alum, discussed her transition from undergraduate editing to nonprofit administration.

Attendees also participated in a book arts workshop and showcase celebration, where they exchanged publications from their respective programs.
