I’m Hitting the Road This Spring

If you live in the Los Angeles area, I’ll be making my second consecutive appearance at the LA Times Festival of Books on Sunday, April 27. I’m moderating a morning panel on books and the film industry with guest speakers Mark Frost, Chris Miller, Gary David Goldberg, and Tom Epperson.

Aspiring writers in Michigan may wish to consider registering for the Ann Arbor Book Festival Writer’s Conference on Friday, May 16, where I’ll be talking about “blogging for the serious writer” with Claudia Mair Burney. The conference costs $100, but the festival the next day is free, and depending on what the airfares are like I might be wandering around…

I’m lining up more speaking engagements all the time, so who knows? I may make it to your neck of the woods yet!

Beatrice Presents Adam Langer @ The Strand

Back in the summer of 2005, Adam Langer‘s novel Crossing California was featured on this site for a week, as Adam chatted with fellow Chicagoan Andrew Winston about their writing and their hometown. Now Adam’s moved to New York, which has become the setting for his latest novel, which he’ll tell you about himself in this video:

I’m really excited to be able to tell you that I’ll be introducing Adam as he reads from Ellington Boulevard at the Strand, one of Manhattan’s most famous bookstores, on Tuesday, January 22nd. We’ll be having a wine reception at 6:30 p.m. before the reading, so if you’re in the area, please do come by and say hello.
