Addendum to Below

Sorry, I forgot to mention I work at UCLA Extension Writers' Program which means (sniff, sniff) I am no longer in the 619, but rather the 323, er, the 213, you know what I mean--I'm in LA!

The Writers' Program is so great, for those who don't know about it--we offer classes not only in creative writing but also seminars in publishing, creating your pitch package, etc. all taught by writers in the thick of it! Most of the classes are fiction-oriented but I hope this will change!

And, we just entered the bloggosphere, so check out the blog and tell me what you think.

So, it's a 9-5er, but I count myself lucky to work with a talented group of writers, and plus, free classes!

Take care all,javascript:void(0)

Hi SDSU MFA Bloggers--

Ditch actuality this summer and hit refreshing cyberspace at another writer-friendly blog: www.uclaextensionwritersprogram.blogspot.com

I'm not posting up there currently, but soon hopefully. We'd love to have other writers weigh in on the pressing issues which are only pressing to writers but still warrant conversation, right?

And we are oh-so timely, we had a Harry Potter post last week, dig?

Over and out,
Gabe
