As of spring 2022, I’ve been hosting an event series at my local bookstore: Brick & Mortar Books in Redmond, WA. Occurring approximately every six weeks (we maintain some wiggle room to accommodate guest authors), the events dive into different aspects of the writing and publishing process. So far, events have ranged from Worldbuilding with Terry Brooks to an “Ask a Literary Agent” event with Danya Kukafka! We’ve also covered topics like writing for children and historical accuracy (and inaccuracy) in fiction. And there’s more to come! (As of this writing, our next event is “Time and Place: Tips and Tricks for Establishing Setting” with none other than Jamie Ford!
Let’s be honest, I’m not going to update this site with every event. BUT! The bookstore does keep their calendar up to date. (Thank you, Brick & Mortar!) Curious when the next Word Craft will be? Check here!
