Writers & Readers: gatherings for everybody who loves language and ideas.
Wordly was an investigation of the structural and sometimes obsessive relationship writers have to language. Ammon Shea talked about reading the entire OED (all 22,000 pages of it!); Michael Erard read from Um... and from his new work on language superlearners.

Gemini Ink, San Antonio’s literary arts center, held its 3rd annual Writers Conference July 20-22nd, 2018 at the historic downtown El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel. The conference focus was “Writing the New Century” and explored the role writing plays in shaping the personal, social, and political consciousness of our 21st century.
Featured award-winning authors included Dr. Norma Cantú, Martín Espada, Anel Flores, Veronica Golos, Debra Monroe, and Pulitzer Prize winner Vijay Seshadri.
The 3-day conference was comprised of a full schedule of workshops, readings, panel presentations and a small press book fair, with free evening events and after-parties.
Explore the life and career of Julia Alvarez, one of the most influential Latina writers of her generation. Since bursting onto the American literary scene in 1991 with her autobiographical novel, “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents,” the widely acclaimed book that sold 250,000 copies, followed by “In the Time of the Butterflies” (1994), which raised global awareness about three sisters assassinated by Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, Alvarez has blazed a trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream. As one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful writers, Alvarez’s work spans multiple genres and audiences, including three books of nonfiction, three collections of poetry, 11 books for children and young adults, and seven literary novels.
