Participant fees include a public event with a soon-to-be-announced author, the members’ dinner, a new books by members reading, and the ever-popular, Literary Cabaret – this year, with a twist.
But it doesn’t stop there! For an additional fee, members can register for with noted creative nonfiction writers and editors including Lori A. May, Trevor Herriot, Beth Kaplan, and John Barton. Find out more details about Master Classes and how to sign up (each class is limited to 25 spots).
