2023 Year in Review

First, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with Willamette Writers over the last few years. This year, I joined the Board of Directors and couldn’t be more proud of this wonderful organization.

In 2023 Willamette Writers held 95 workshops at local chapters and online, 90 Coffee At Your Kitchen Table meetings for conversation and connections, and 45 Write Place meetings to help writers set and meet SMART (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Timebound) goals. All of these were free and open to the public.

Please consider helping us continue the work of helping writers find community, develop their craft, and expand their careers by donating. Check out the Facebook fundraiser https://www.facebook.com/donate/1083336493105215/ or donate through the website https://willamettewriters.org/donations/

Besides my work with Willamette Writers, I co-chaired the HWA Membership Committee until September when I stepped down to have more time for other projects. I also attended StokerCon, WW Conference, BizarroCon, Portland Book Festival, H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival online, did my first in-person reading at the Winding Paths release party, and recorded a reading of “Worm Bagging” for HPLFF.

Publications in 2023

Looking forward to 2024!

You can watch all the awesome films from the comfort of your home, car, or wherever your devices go.

There will also be panel discussions, readings, and dramatic performances available to stream. One of which, will be a reading of my short story “Worm Bagging” originally published in Unnerving Magazine Issue 17.

I had fun recording this one, and hope you’ll check it out along with all the other fantastic content at the HPLFF Streaming Event

Too much awesomeness to include here, so check out the full website for exciting guests of honor, such as Clay Mcleod Chapman, and world premiere films, such as GODS OF THE DEEP. Guest of Honor Rebekah McKendry PhD will be there with one of my personal favorites, GLORIOUS. I’m super excited and plan to take in as many films, speakers, readings and panels as possible. Hope to see you there!
