Anne Perry, Victoria Zackheim and I launch our new workshop “WriteTeachers: Inspiring Writers” on September 13th. It’s an all day affair, each of us will be teaching three workshops during the day and participants can sign up for whatever teacher/genre they’re most interested in. Anne Perry (who is famous for her best selling mysteries) will be teaching fiction, Victoria Zackheim (who edits fantastic essay anthologies, writes plays etc. and also teaches at UCLA Extension) will be conducting essay workshops, and I’ll be doing getting started/ getting unstuck workshops. Here’s a link to our website and all the information about our first go at this. http://www.writeteachers.com  Come join us!

PS This blog went down over the weekend and thanks to Rob Daly and the gods of cyberspace it’s back up to speed. However about a thousand spam comments got through in the process, so if you leave a comment and don’t see it up please send again in a day or so. Right now I’m busy eliminating all spam which also means legitimate comments. Thanks –
