The InKY Reading Series has moved!
Come find us at The Bard's Town

Greenwald has been a Tennessee Williams Scholar at The Sewanee Writer's Conference and a scholar at Breadloaf. Also, she has received awards from the North Carolina and Kentucky Arts Councils and most recently, taught creative writing at the University of Louisville.

Gale is managing editor of Red Hen Press. She has been a visiting poet at Pomona College and has taught in the Graduate Humanities Program at Mt. St. Marys. She teaches publishing courses at Antioch University Los Angeles. She speaks at universities, writing conferences, low residency and residency MFA programs on independent publishing, editing and publicity.

Musical guest Amanda Lucas began singing at the age of 2, and as her family would say, she sang before she every really learned to talk, using any household item she could find as a microphone—including items from under the bathroom sink.

Being a Literary Citizen Can Lead to Publication:
A Professional Workshop with Red Hen Press Editor and Founder Kate Gale

You want to be a published author? Be a player. Be part of the solution. We will discuss how to become part of the literary life. Babies used to be born behind swinging doors. All a mystery. That's where editing used to happen. What we are going to do is go behind the swinging door and find out what actually happens at the editor's desk. Being a literary citizen is like being a writer with special powers. You're part of the in crowd. You want to be published whether you're a poet, creative non-fiction writer, novelist, short story writer, graphic novelist or even a humor writer. Connect, dream. You can make it happen.

For more information or to make a reservation, email InKY president, Lynnell Edwards.

Registration for this InKY workshop is limited to 15 participants; a suggested donation of $15 or more helps support our work bringing readers and writers together.

Copies of these books and more will be available for sale at InKY thanks to Carmichael's Bookstore, Louisville's oldest independent bookseller. Carmichael's Bookstore recently celebrated its 30th anniversary as Louisville's oldest and largest independent bookstore.
