Newman, who teaches beginning poetry and fiction, writes poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. She received an honorable mention in the Chautauqua Poetry Contest at the Chautauqua Institution in 2010.
Ruggieri is retired from teaching a variety of writing courses at Pitt-Bradford. Her new book, which is her fourth, is “Butterflies Under a Japanese Moon,” which her publisher has nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
Weber, who teaches technical writing and is director of the Writing Center at Pitt-Bradford, has dabbled in various genres, from children’s literature to historical romance. She has published creative nonfiction and been a member of various writing and critique groups for nearly 20 years.
