Please send me your good writing news to be included in upcoming newsletters. I know we have a talented group. Do you have a new book coming out? Have you won a writing award? Let us share your joy!
AUTHOR TALKS
The State Library of Pennsylvania holds free virtual "Lunch and Learn" programs where Pennsylvania authors can discuss their work. The main acceptance criterion seems to be that the writer must be based in Pennsylvania, so most Pennwriters would qualify. You need to ask about six months in advance, and not everyone will be selected. The coordinator is Ellen Shenk, who can be reached at ellshenk@pa.gov.
