@veedabybee @Asian_Authors Hi Veeda, I am a fellow graduate of the VCFA MFA program And was wondering if you plan to attend the AWP 25 conference in Los Angeles? If so, I’m doing a panel on Angel Island, and I would like to invite you to be on it. Please let me know if you’re interested. Onward VCFA! Jeff
