Two upcoming writing workshops in the Portland area will help give the budding writers in your family something to write about when the weather goes from hot to beastly at the end of July and beginning of August. Visit the workshop page to learn more, and rest assured there will be shade, cool water and a/c to keep their writing hands comfortable and the words flowing freely.

If you like, download this incredibly useful and creatively written Summer Writing Camp flier, which provides all the information you’ll need in order to register.

Looking forward to writing with you.

I’m pleased to be sharing the bill tomorrow night with Peter Sears at the Press Club (2621 SE Clinton St., Portland). It’s part of the Mountain Writers reading series. The reading starts at 8 p.m. Stop in for a cocktail and enjoy some poetry in the process.

For more info, check out the Mountain Writers site.

Thanks –
