The Pure Sea Glass Writers Conference begins this Thursday in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Director and novelist
Maribeth Fischer has once again put together a
magnificent lineup with Richard Bausch, Robert Bausch (yes both of them!), Carolyn Parkhurst, Leslie Pietrzyk, Liam Callanan, Lisa Couturier, Sheri Reynolds, literary agent Candace Furhman, Tin House magazine, and many more. I'll be on panels about point of view and publishing, and giving a morning workshop on travel memoir. (Click
here for the complete schedule.) I'll also be reading from
Mexico: A Traveler's Literary Companion and
Miraculous Air. This is a very unusual writers conference in that the whole thing benefits an important charity:
the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. Back blogging next week.
