Coming soon: the JRW Conference

Happy “surely it’s still summer,” y’all! I hope your summer has been as good and productive as mine. I’ve been busy reading, from Karl Edward Wagner to Karenne Wood; traveling, to the beach and to Quebec; and writing, with a novel (which I’ve jokingly called UNTITLED FUTURE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND PULITZER PRIZE WINNER) nearly sewn up and soon to be querying. More on all of that down the road!

If you are in or near Central Virginia, I hope you’ll take a look at this year’s James River Writers conference. There’s some great panels, and I have the good fortune to moderate two: “Writing That Goes Bump in the Night” and “Awards, Grants, & Residencies: Putting Yourself Out There.” I’ll post more about both sessions, and why I’m excited about both as the conference approaches.
