Upcoming festivals!

September: In the evening of September 29th , I'll be at the Lumen Festival, an open air festival of lights, arts, and technology in uptown Waterloo Ontario. I don't have any specific appearances, but I have a poetry-in-lights installation in Zone 3, and I'll be around.

October: On October 19th and 20th I'll be at the Nimrod Conference for Readers and Writers in Tulsa Oklahoma. (Nimrod, if you don't know it, is a venerable and lively literary magazine that lives at the University of Tulsa.) I'll be attending the kickoff on Friday evening (which is free and open to the public) and teaching a "Choose Your Own Disaster" course on world-building on Saturday.

November: On November 2nd and 3rd, I'll be at the Wild Writers Literary Festival, again in Waterloo Ontario. I'm teaching a Young Creators Masterclass on Saturday morning, on where, why, and how to use details to make your writing snap, not bog.

As you can see, I don't have a new book out, so that's my calendar's a little light on public events. I have some school readings too, and would love to do a few more -- booking now for November and December. Let me know if I can come talk to your students about the time I went to Mongolia to research a book and tried to milk a male goat and thereby learned the value of failure. I have pictures. And props. (I do not bring the goat.) Check my Author's Booking Service page here.
