Travel Writing Takes Center Stage at Left Coast Writers this Saturday night, June 8

Hear some great travel stories this Saturday night and perhaps win a prize for a piece of your own.

Left Coast Writers presents Our Favorite Travel Writers this Saturday, June 8, at 7 pm in the gallery at Book Passage Corte Madera store.

We’ll share stories and wine and the company of fellow traveling writers. There will even be a contest for the best travel story (1000 words or less), so bring your submissions. The winning story will receive a cash award and publication in the Left Coast Writer online column, Roadwork. But you must be present to win, so mark your calendars.

I’ll read a story from my memoir-in-progress, A Stroke of Bad Luck and the Potholed Road to Recovery.  It recounts my introduction to adventure travel. Hint: I didn’t have to travel far to find more adventure than I bargained for.

Other readers include Cheryl Armstrong, Unity Barry, Antoinette Constable, Kate Crawford, Laurie McAndish King, Diane LeBow, MJ Pramik, and Cindy Rasicot.

Hope to see you there.
