New essay in Sac Bee, online now, print Sunday 13th.

The new essay is about a writer’s conference that’s been held at Squaw Valley every year for the past 48 years. It’s about the concept of community and what it takes to be a writer. I was a workshop participant in 2013, and have been attending as a guest for the last 3 years. It’s a stunning experience for both readers and writers. LINK TO ESSAY
