Gathering of Writers, August 18, 2012

The Gathering of Writers, hosted by Press 53 and Prime Number Magazine, is a full-day workshop for fiction and nonfiction writers on August 18, 2012 at the Community Arts Café in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Similar to Press 53’s annual Gathering of Poets, which takes place each spring, the Gathering of Writers features gives participants the opportunity to work with four different workshop teachers throughout the day. I’m delighted to be part of the faculty for the program, along with John McNally, Valerie Nieman, Tracy Crow, Susan Woodring, and Kim Wright. If you are in the Winston-Salem area, or can come for the day, please join us! (Participation is limited to the first 53 registrants.)

And there’s more! The night before the Gathering, Press 53 is hosting a FREE event at the Community Arts Café to celebrate the release of my new book, What the Zhang Boys Know, which you can read more about here.
