Writers in Residence

Writers in Residence was an experiment in Oct. 2007 to move writing into the public eye at {open} in Long Beach. We spent the day writing and interacting with store patrons. Check out what The District Weekly had to say about our project (Look under the photo of Jane Fonda). We also sent a news release to local publications.
