Writers' workshop Spread the word! You can get your writing-life questions answered in Tod Goldberg's writers' workshop, Saturday, 3/28, nine until noon. Ask him about low residency MFA programs (he directs one). Ask him about writing literary realism and humor (Gangster Nation). Ask him about writing books connected to TV (Burn Notice). Ask him about running one of the highest-rated literary podcasts (Literary Disco). Ask him about how to make a living as a writer. Ask things. Make things. Share things. Reserve your spot.

Announcing our actors New Casting Director Jessica Laskey has chosen the actors for our March 27performance. We've got to say, they're pretty great. Performing Tod Goldberg's story "Walls" NYT best-selling literary crime writer Tod Goldberg will see his story "Walls" performed by David Campfield. David began his acting career right here in Sacramento, CA, where he appeared in dozens of plays. After becoming more involved in on-camera projects, he started working in the San Francisco area.

David is always glad to return to Sacramento to perform, and in recent years has traveled back to appear in "Sense and Sensibility" at STC, Playwrights' Revolution at Capital Stage, and indie film "Grunk the Smasher" by TFO Productions.
