EVENTS

Had a great time at the 9th Annual Western Maryland Independent Lit Fest, hosted by Frostburg State University's English Department and Center for Literary Arts. Among the guests were Scott Edelman, Timons Esaias, Wayne Lockwood, Andy Duncan, and of course, Jason Jack Miller and myself. Here are just a few photos from the event, which we've nicknamed mini-AWP.

It was our second in-person event since the pandemic, but this one felt like old times. Keynote speakers were Jonathan Maberry ... ...and Jon Sprunk . We each taught two classes. Jason revived his Folk Yeah! and Rural Noir workshops. And I brought back Space Opera Is Still Queen and Pick Your Punk . There was a Saturday evening luau to celebrate Jonathan's love of Hawaiian shirts. First photo is Jason Jack Miller , Larry Ivkovich , and Jon Sprunk. Here I am with Maria V. Snyder .
