Fiction Firist Aid through the Community of Writers. Fifteen minute consults with well-known writer/teachers offered once a month, for $25! It’s amazing how much you can get done in 15 minutes. This month I’ll be mentoring along with Tom Lutz, exec. editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books, SF novelist and columnist Vanessa Hua, and short story writer and novelist Dylan Landis. Deadline to register—8 a.m. that Friday morning.
