Recent fiction graduate Jaime Goh, MFA '25, won the "International" category of the British Virgin Island Lit Fest Writing Competition! Her winning story, "Deposits," will be published in the Beacon in the coming weeks.
Featuring more than 40 speakers from here and abroad, the festival also included a wide variety of other free and paid events, including readings, panel discussions, workshops, and a book fair.
HLSCC President Richard Georges said the annual festival, which launched in 2021, has three purposes: to “connect us to the regional canon,” to “engender a love for reading and literacy” in young people, and to “facilitate the development of writers across genre, across media.”
