Fall Opportunities and a FREE WORKSHOP coming your way!

Hey Everyone,

I’m back from Portugal, land of the pastel de nata, from which I’m in serious withdrawal!

Today, I’d like to share a few opportunities that have been vibrating in my inbox. Regular writing prompts will resume on Thursday.

And don’t forget that we have an extraordinary, FREE 90-minute writing workshop with Alejandro Nodarse happening on Sunday, Oct. 9 at 1 PM ET. More on this later this week!
