Mendocino Coast Writers Conference

August 3, 2023 - August 5, 2023

I’m delighted that I’ll be the short fiction instructor for the 2023 Mendocino Coast Writers Conference – a part of the world close to my heart.

Registration will be available soon. Grab a spot while you can.

There are incredible instructors attending and it promises to be an incredible experience, including Ariel Gore, Nayomi Munaweera, Daniel B. Summerhill, Sarah McColl, Ploi Pirapokin, Muriel Leung and Carvell Wallace.

Join us if you can.
