Hemingway Shorts Volume 8 is out! It includes my story, “Mansion Apartment Shack House.” It’s a lovely volume of short fiction!
Available on Amazon
Anyone remember playing MASH as a kid to see what your future held? (Who would you marry? How many kids would you have? Would you live in a mansion, or shack?) My story “Mansion Apartment Shack House,” which features the game MASH, was a finalist in the Hemingway Shorts contest through the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park, and will come out this summer in their journal.
I will be in Seattle for the AWP Conference, and will be participating in a panel, book signing, and reading. See the schedule below!
Thursday, February 27
AWP Conference
Washington State Convention Center &
Sheraton Seattle Hotel
Seattle, WA
Participating in the panel: “Writing Toward the Future: High School Creative Writing Programs.” With Monika Cassel, Jamie Figueroa, Anne-Marie Oomen, Scott Gould. Room 2B, Washington State Convention Center, Level 2. 3:00 pm.
As writing programs multiply around the nation, high school writing majors in arts schools are the new frontier. What does such an early emphasis on the craft of writing offer young students during the high school years and beyond? What should a writer hoping to teach at such a program expect? Instructors and program directors of arts school creative writing programs across the country explore what intensive training in creative writing can offer today’s youth and today’s teachers of writing.
