Sirenland Writers Conference Blog
Dear Sirenlanders:
We are very happy to announce that Ron Carlson will joining us at Sirenland 2010 as an instructor. The other two workshops will be led by Dani Shapiro and Jim Shepard, returning from Sirenland 2009. Peter Cameron (who also taught at Sirenland 2009) will be returning to teach at Sirenland 2011.
Ron Carlson is the director of the M.F.A. program in fiction and professor of English at U.C. Irvine. He is the award-winning author of several short story collections and six novels, including the newly published The Signal, which has been receiving rave reviews, including this one in The Washington Post and this one in the LA Times. I first met Ron at Breadloaf in 2004, where he gave one of the best lectures I've ever heard about the process of writing. Later, One Story published a special edition of Ron's story, "Beanball" for our 100th issue. Ron Carlson is an amazing writer, teacher and friend, and I know that he is going to be a great addition to Sirenland 2010.
Cheers,
Hannah
