This 6th annual collection of Vegas stories spotlights a selection of the city’s best writers, each exploring a common theme using their unique perspectives and styles. Produced in conjunction with the prestigious Vegas Valley Book Festival, it’s a must-have anthology for anyone curious about the city and what really makes it tick.
This year they’re loosely based around the central concept of a “lost-and-found” box and the random and disparate items that might be found within. It’s the perfect metaphor for Las Vegas, a metropolis with such singular energies, generated by the juxtaposition–and sometimes collision–of so many diverse and frenetic elements. In no other city is it so easy to get lost, nor so vital to be found.
Contributing Las Vegas Writers include David Armstrong, Mason Ian Bundschuh, Heidi Kyser, Joseph Langdon, Launce Rake, Moniro Ravanipour, Geoff Schumacher, T.R. Witcher, and Mercedes M. Yardley.
Las Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities, published by Huntington Press, with support from the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, and part of the Las Vegas Book Festival. Las Vegas Writes anthology is an annual collection of writings by local authors focused on a theme connected to Las Vegas.
