Save the date for this awesome web radio event hosted by NWP on October 20. I’ll be a guest on the show!  Details:

One way we’re celebrating the National Day on Writing is by talking with writers about writing. Join us for a conversation with our friends and NDOW collaborators: from the New York Times, Katherine Schulten, editor of the Learning Networkand a NYC Writing Project fellow, andTimes education reporter Fernanda Santos; and from Figment, the teen writing site, Dana Goodyear, Figment co-founder and staff writer for the New Yorker. Also joining us will be novelist and writing project teacher Ashley Hope Perez.

Join in to help celebrate National Day on Writing. Because we all do it–even nuns and priests!
