>Thanks for mentioning JRW. Our “Get Your Word On” does round up a lot that’s going on in VA, especially in Richmond. Feel free to send info. about literary doings in C-ville. Best, Virginia
>Virginia, I didn’t realize you were involved with JRW. I’m keeping a calendar of “local” readings here on my blog, as you may have seen, in part because of a discussion with JRW Board Member Logan Ward, who also lives in Staunton.
