Amsterdam, New York – March 8, 2021 – LitCon, a yearly live online literary convention, has named WKU Graduate Assistant Instructor (M.F.A. Screenwriting) Jon Meyers as their first Literary Fiction Genre Manager for their 2022 literary conference. Meyers participated in the 2021 conference as a featured panelist on two screenwriting panels last weekend.
LitCon features craft discussions with published authors in multiple genres: Fantasy, Science Fiction. Horror, Poetry, Mystery/Thriller, Young Adult, Children’s Books, Screenwriting – and now, Literary Fiction.
“Although I was invited as a screenwriter, and I will still be returning as a screenwriter in 2022, our pre-conference discussion somehow veered off into the novel I will be finishing later this year,” Meyers said. “My novel – which I started in Dr. Nancy Dinan’s Advanced Fiction course -- doesn’t really fit into any of LitCon’s existing genres, so we were talking about the best fit for me next year. One thing led to another, and they not only added Literary Fiction, but handed over what that will look like to me.”
