Poets & Writers Literary Roundtable
ClassesFall 2017|#2700.322
Description
Poets & Writers, the nation's largest nonprofit organization serving creative writers, convenes Literary Roundtable Meetings in different parts of California and select cities outside the state. These meetings are open to people from all areas of the literary community?writers, teachers, editors, and organizations that host literary events?to exchange ideas, news, and resources. It's also a chance for P&W staff to share information about the Readings & Workshops program, which helps to provide fees to writers who give public readings and/or teach creative writing workshops. If you're interested in attending and for more information, please RSVP to rw-west@pw.org. Guest speaker is Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, co-founder of the writer's support organization Women Who Submit. Women Who Submit works to close the gender gap in literary publishing by creating a supportive community, sharing resources, and demystifying the submission process.
