TO GET LISTED INFORMATION
Productive pen he University of North Texas’ 2013-14 Visiting Writers Series brings its first man of letters to town, novelist and editor Matt Bell. Bell will visit the campus at 4 p.m. Tuesday for a questionand-answer session at Curry Hall in Room 211. At 8 p.m. Tuesday, Bell will read from his work and sign books in Room 108 of the UNT Business Leadership Building. Bell’s debut novel, In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods, was released in June.

Bell is a senior editor at Dzanc Books, a publishing house that is both wet behind the ears and already respected for its mission to turn more Americans into fearless readers of literary media. Bell is also editor of The Collagist literary magazine and a creative writing professor at Northern Michigan University. Both the Q-and-A session and the reading are free. Curry Hall is located at 200 Ave. A near Mulberry Street, and the Business Leadership Building is at 1307 W. Highland St. — Lucinda Breeding
