My apologies--it's been awhile! October was busy, full of all kinds of writerly events, not the least of which was our incredbily energizing 2010 Tomales Bay Workshops! I hope to post a highlight reel from that event soon.
In the meantime, November too is hopping in the valley, even as the leaves finally begin to fall...

If interested, write me a note (valfiora@yahoo.com) and tell me something about yourself, your writing interests/experience, why you’re interested in being an SoS intern, and what types of events/content you’d like to see developed if given the opportunity.

Due November 20: Applications for Authors Among Us at The Market Place in Rancho Cordova
The Sacramento Metro area is filled with writing talent many of whom are published authors. The Market Place wants to bring writers, editors, agents, and audience together in an event designed to celebrate and encourage published and yet-to-be published authors.
Authors Among Us is a 9-day celebration of writing that kicks off and ends with two weekend-long author-signing events. The Market Place is dedicated to celebrating not only those who know they are writers, but also those who have the passion to write but may be shy about sharing their talents with the public. Writers young and old (and all those in between) are invited to attend, participate, and be inspired. Most of all, we want to show the public just how many authors there are among us that might encourage more people to write and to get published.
For complete information, application form and instructions and a list of authors who have already confirmed participation in this year's event, visit The Market Place website (scroll down a bit).
