The International Women's History Month Literary Festival


Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library hosted the International Women's History Month Literary Festival yesterday. Here are pieces that I wrote on the participating authors:

Actress-director-author Tanya Wright finds literary festival an obvious fit


Sarita Mandanna brings 'a different geography' to Saturday's literary festival


Jasmin Darznik will "paint a more nuanced portrait of Iranian culture"



Victoria Brown will introduce West Indian flavor to Saturday’s festival


Unfortunately, Victoria Brown wasn't able to attend because of unforeseen circumstances.

Everybody should watch out for these rising literary stars...and support International Women's History Month.

March 10, 2011: Producer announces there will be no 2011 Capital BookFest in the DMV

Unbelievably, this is the first time in six years that DC will not host the Capital BookFest. Sign of the Second Coming? Or yet another symptom of the death of publishing as we know it?

You make the call...
