We invite you to check out All Kinds of Writing, the blog of Lorna T. Suzuki. On Monday, 26 April, Lorna featured an interview with Carol Cram, the Artistic Director of the Write on Bowen! Festival, (who also happens to be our BIAC president). Lorna, who will be offering a workshop at the festival, talked to Carol about how the festival got started, and includes highlights about presenters and workshops. As Carol says: "We have a wonderfully eclectic group of presenters this year. Actually, I should mention that “eclectic” has been our guiding principle in programming the festival. We want to feature all types of writing--from poetry to fiction to non-fiction to business writing to storytelling to song writing -- and on and on. Our goal is to make the festival a real coming together of writers in a wide range of areas." Click here to read the interview in its entirety.
