Extra Credit Events

As I've said before, you can get extra participation points by attending writing/author events in the area this semester. To get the points, please write a paragraph or two about the event, and what you took away from it in terms of writing knowledge.

Here's an incomplete list of things I know will be happening in Boise for the few few months. I'll update this as we go along.


October 7th, 7:30 p.m. Vincent Toro, the Cabin. Free admission.

October 13, 7pm. My own event and book signing with the Lady Janies at Bishop Kelly High School. This is a paid event, ($10?) and will have copies of all of our individual books available to sign as well. We have a fun presentation planned. I will give double points for attending this, as well.

October 14th, 7:30 p.m. John Beer, BSU Hemingway building, free admission.

October 15, all day. The Boise Book Festival. I will be there with the Janies. I'm doing a panel on writing "swoon -worthy dialogue" earlier int he day, and signing with the Janies in the afternoon. I will give you double points for attending this one. I think there is a student discount.

October 31, 8-10pm, Campfire Stories at the Modern Hotel. Alan Heathcock and Ryan Cannon.

November 11th, 7:30 p.m. Robin Coste-Lewis, Ming Studios.

November 16, 5-7pm. Colum McCann Meet and Greet, Beside Bardenay, 612 Grove Street, Boise.

 $15-$35 dollars, depending on seats.

Reading Tonight

Tonight there's going to be a reading that I will give you extra credit to attend. It's one of the Campfire series at the Modern Hotel here in Boise. It's also fun. This month it's journalists discussing what stories have resonated in Idaho.

Here's the link to the Facebook event page.

To get the extra credit, just write a paragraph or two about what the vent was like and what you learned from it. You'll receive an extra participation point.
