Dear friends,
This summer I’ve been busy helping to draft and disseminate an historic human and LGBT rights petition in Armenia. Please read and consider signing, if you haven’t already: http://www.change.org/
I’m gearing up to attend the Lambda Literary Foundation’s Emerging Writers’ Retreat in Los Angeles next week. If you want to hear some great writers, please head to the American Jewish University in Brentwood, Colen Hall, Room 108 for our public readings on August 1 and 2, 7-9 pm. Thanks to the help of many generous donors, I’ve raised $1025 to attend the retreat: just $125 $75 to go! If you would like contribute, here’s the link to my Pay Pal site:
Finally, I’m thinking of starting a writing workshop in October from my home in Queens. I’m in the market research phase and request your suggestions and feedback. The workshop would be for creative nonfiction and autobiographical fiction writers, held one night weekly. If you are interested or have ideas in terms of how a workshop might help you with a project (i.e. developing new material, receiving guidance and feedback on a longterm project, reading and analyzing textual examples for inspiration, learning interview or research skills, etc.), please let me know. Also, for those of you not located in NYC, would you be interested in an online workshop? Please reply in the comments section below.
I look forward to your response, and I send you wishes of peace for the rest of the summer.
Nancy
