Join us for this year's Inspired Words Writers' Conference
"In the stories we tell ourselves, we tell ourselves." Michael Martone
This intimate writing conference, hosted by the Lafayette Writers' Studio, will feature a keynote and workshop by acclaimed author Barbara Shoup, novelist and prose writers Sarah Layden and Melissa Fraterrigo, and poets Lauren Mallett and Kaveh Akbar. In addition to Shoup's workshop, you may attend breakout sessions designed to help you learn more about craft, generate new work, and explore yourself and your writing. All sessions will be generative in nature, so you will leave with the start of several pieces of new work. Lunch and refreshments included with admission. Local bookseller Second Flight Bookswill be selling books by presenters along with other merchandise. Discover writing that stirs and surprises you, and meet other committed writers. You will leave with more than inspired words. Early Bird ends Oct 13, 2017!
I'm delighted to come back to NW Indiana to read from GLORY DAYS, sign copies, and answer questions about the book. Special thanks to Allison Schuette of Valparaiso University and her students for inviting me!
I'm honored to be reading as part of the Players Pub series 424 S. Walnut, Bloomington, IN. In addition to some stellar readers, there will also be a dance troupe providing additional entertainment!
