Why should writers blog? Why should writers NOT blog? Is there really such a thing as a literary blog? Who writes them? Who reads them? What’s the difference between a web site and a web blog? How do you start one? Why would you want to?
This evening’s gathering will be a Blog-a-Rama of questions, answers and conversations led by guest speakers Kevin Smokler (editor of the forthcoming anthology Bookmark Now: Writing in Unreaderly Times), Bradley Charbonneau (travel writer and instructor for our upcoming May 7th workshop “Websites for Writers”), Joan Gelfand (writer, blogger and President of the SF chapter of the Women’s National Book Association), Adam Hertz (VP of engineering at Technorati – the man to talk to if you want to know what’s going on in the world of weblogs, right down to the nuts and bolts), Michelle Richmond (author of Dream of the Blue Room, writing teacher, new mom, and juggler of three blog sites) and Jane Underwood (Writing Salon owner currently undergoing initiation into the world of blogging).
