APRIL is excited to host our first ever...
APRIL is excited to host our first ever Writer in Residence, Jac Jemc, and to bring poet Mark Leidner to Seattle for the festival, too.
Jac Jemc’s My Only Wife (Dzanc Books) was a finalist for the 2013 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize and winner of the Paula Anderson Book Award. Her collection of stories, A Different Bed Every Time, is due out in October 2014.
Mark Leidner is the author of Beauty Was the Case that They Gave Me (Factory Hollow Press, 2011) and The Angel in the Dream of Our Hangover (Sator Press, 2011). He lives in Atlanta and writes at twitter.com/markleidner.
Sample their work with this excerpt from Jac’s novel My Only Wife and five poems from Mark in La Petite Zine.
You can help us cover Jac and Mark’s lodging and travel costs by donating to APRIL. We’re a volunteer-run nonprofit, so your gift is tax-deductible and goes entirely to festival costs. (Jac and Mark are both Reverse Fan Mail authors, too! —Don’t know about the Reverse Fan Mail? Read this!)
We’re announcing our full line-up January 30th!
