Now that I'm back in New York, it seems like a good time to mention that I'm leaving again. In two weeks, I'll be in Omaha for the (Downtown) Omaha Lit Fest, the visionary happening created by my dear friend Timothy Schaffert. This year is especially apt because my fall publicity project is working with Nebraska native (and my New York neighbor) Terese Svoboda to get the word out about her two new books: Weapons Grade, a collection of poems
that have appeared in The New Yorker, Paris Review, American Poetry
Review, Tin House, Yale Review and elsewhere (University of Arkansas
Press, Fall 2009), and Trailer Girl: Stories (University of Nebraska Press, Fall 2009).
Terese is doing two appearances in New York this week, Wednesday at Mixer at Cake Shop and then on Sunday at KGB's famed Fiction Night. Come join us if you're in the neighborhood.
And while we're on the topic of getting the word out, I'm teaching an extremely cost-effective one-hour online workshop, entitled Innovative Publicity Now, at SheWrites on September 22.
