Join me at Summer Words 2016—American River College’s creating writing festival—where I’m teaching a workshop on voice (Voice in Fiction: What is it, why does it matter, and how can I pull it off?) on Saturday, May 28, 11:30 a.m. Later that afternoon, grab a seat in the Boardroom while Joshua Mohr, Josh Weil, and I talk with Christian Kiefer about the writer’s wellspring—where we get our ideas/what inspires our books.

The conference begins on Thursday, May 26, and features workshops, panels, and readings with over 30 presenters, as well as a keynote reading by Luis Alberto Urrea, author of THE WATER MUSEUM.

Full event admission is $95. All events take place on the American River College campus, 4700 College Oak Drive, Sacramento, CA.
