A Word and Then Another Word. And Then Another: The Writing Life

Join us for a rare treat at SCWA’s June meeting on Saturday, June 21 at 10 AM at the 19 Restaurant & Lounge in Laguna Woods, as literary legend Richard Bausch takes the stage with A Word, and Then Another Word, and Then Another. With wit, wisdom, and hard-earned grace, Bausch will share insights from his latest masterwork, The Fate of Others (just out from Knopf), and speak candidly about the beautiful mess that is writing—especially the grit it takes to keep going when the muse seems to be on a break. Whether you’re penning your first flash piece or wrestling with your next great American novel, this is one talk you won’t want to miss.
