grubstreet-logoVery excited for this fall’s fiction classes. At Grub Street, I’ll be teaching four installments of a brand new eight part Novel Revision series. If you’re working on a novel, it would be great to have you in Boston for a class!  Here’s the link. Check ’em out!

BLF2014Poster3ptrTo kick off this year’s Brattleboro Literary Festival on Friday, October 2, I’ll be joining two very talented fellow writers, my Grub Street colleague Howard Axelrod and my good friend and local Salonista shaman, Suzanne Kingsbury, in offering these exciting workshops.

If you’re planning to be anywhere near Vermont on that day—and it’s a great time to be here—I highly recommend that you take one!
