I'll be teaching a workshop on "Writing Prose That Shines" Sat morning, 9am MST/USA.

Cordasco, as well as other notables from across the industry, it'll be a weekend of conversation, performance, and connection you won't want to miss!

Are you a writer as well as a reader?
Conventions and writer's conferences are being canceled around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic, but, while we may be isolated, we're not alone. I recently received an invitation to speak at WordCrafter's Stay in Place Virtual Writing Conference on April 28th. I'll be presenting a talk on writing short fiction as one of eighteen authors teaching writing craft and tips. Other presenters will include David Farland, Jonathan Mayberry, and keynote speaker, Kevin J. Anderson. Free presentations will take place on a Facebook event page, and interactive workshops and panel discussions will be offered for a minimal fee on the Zoom platform. Interested? Reserve a spot today at the FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/610730112815902/
