Not everyone has the balls to submit four pieces to an open call.

Alle to read at 2022 Montana Book Festival!

For the first time in its history, The Montana Book Festival is hosting a Short Works Reading Series. This allows writers who do not yet have abook out to strut their stuff. I love strutting. My guess is that writers see, “Submit” and do. They might not think, “Submit(s).”

Intending to give the Festival the widest variety of choices, I sent an essay, a short story, a flash fiction taken from my novel that publishes in March, and a flash nonfiction.

I will be reading the short story and the flash nonfiction.

The Festival takes place September 15th — 18th in Missoula. It is partnering with the Missoula Public Library to use their brand new facility as our main hub and event space.
