There are a number of things we're very excited about, up here at Centrum. Registration for the 2010 Port Townsend Writers' Conference is going faster than for any Conference in history. The lineup includes fiction writer Chris Abani, nonfiction writer Denise Chávez, poet Martín Espada, poet Dana Levin, fiction writer Micheline Aharonian Marcom, travel writer Tom Miller, nonfiction writer Bich Minh Nguyen (leading a master class), and fiction writer Ana Menéndez.

Several of these workshops are nearly full. Registration is available here, as well as by calling 360.385.3102, x117 or 360.385.3102, x131. We're also available at these extensions to assist you with any questions or place you in the most appropriate option.

We're also excited about being able to open registration soon for a special May 6-9 fiction-writing workshop featuring novelists Kiara Brinkman and our very own Artistic Director for writing, Cristina García. (Read a brand-new interview with the Los Angeles Examiner here.) Stay tuned!
