Jon Skovron, the host for Shut Up & Write, a writing discussion series hosted by the Arlington Public Library and presented by Lit-Up! sent us this announcement.

All About Anthologies
Our next Shut Up & Write event is May 24th, and it’s going to be about writing YA short fiction and editing YA short fiction anthologies. We will have not one, but two anthology editors: Ellen Oh, and SU&W’s own beloved behind-the-scenes mastermind, Jessica Spotswood!

But that’s not all! Since I will be in Phoenix for Comic Fest that week, previous guest host (and short story author) Robin Talley has kindly agreed to return to Arlington and lead the discussion. You won’t have to listen to me prattle on about whatever thing pops into my head again until September.

Oh, yes, I suppose that’s a good reminder. Per usual, we will not have an event in July, so May 24th will be our final event until September. So please come and enjoy the lovely writing community we continue to build one last time before the summer break.
We hope you can make it to the Central Library at 1015 N Quincy Street in Arlington on May 24th at 7 pm!

And remember, as always, this event is FREE. If you know any other writers or people passionate about fiction and the art of storytelling who also like free events, please forward this email on to them. What’s the worst that could happen?
