This year we celebrate the 90th anniversary of what is probably mankind's greatest ever invention.

[Robert B. Miner @rbminerauthor]

This was an incredible experience last year. I grew as a writer, and for someone who hasn't experienced an MFA or, hell, even an undergraduate English program, it was exhilarating to be around so many talented, caring creators. Apply.

[Shell @thesparklyshell]

We added an extremely cool thing to our shelves today: a 38-volume early 19thC French travelling library - the ‘Bibliothèque Portative du Voyageur’ - house in a book-shaped box. #newacquisition (1/6)

[POETRY magazine @poetrymagazine]

I had not been writing and, truthfully, I was contemplating abandoning poetry after decades of coming back to it time and time again.

1. I want to share something about Hilary Mantel which I hope is about her as a writer but also perhaps an illustration of the power and potential of writing itself…

[Women Writers Network @womenwritersnet]

Absolutely loved this article in ⁦@lithub⁩ from ⁦@cocolarolo⁩ about novels where plants are more than just part of the setting.

Are you #reading or #writing anything similar?

[Valeria Vescina @ValeriaVescina]

An interesting article about the pros & cons of different publishing routes. #womenwriters #publishing

[Women Writers Network @womenwritersnet]

Great article from Stephanie Gangi ⁦@gangi_land⁩ about writing a #debutnovel in her 50s. Lessons for any first time novelist no matter what their age.

Getting the next generation started early in preparation for the @leopardiwc. Italy here we come.

[Joanna Urban @joannaurban]

This week at @leopardiwc has been like summer camp for writers… intense emotions, fast friendships, and all the good, sweet things that come to an end too soon. Thanks for making it so memorable @JonMooreFiction @thesparklyshell @rbminerauthor @gangi_land & others!

[Leopardi Writing Conference @leopardiwc]

Blown away by the charm of Recanati, by the warm welcome-back, and enjoying the opportunity to meet new attendees, new faculty, while re-uniting with return attendees, old friends, and colleagues. The Leopardi Writing Conference is back!
