[stylist] Division Breakfast

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Robert and listers,

    Would there be interest in holding a Writers' Division Breakfast? Many 
other affiliates and divisions do this so why not us? It's one more 
networking opportunity for division members to get together to exchange 
ideas and acquaint them selves with each other over some good wholesome 
food. Mr. President will you take this under consideration and make the 
necessary arrangements? See everyone in Detroit.

Peter Donahue

A couple of thoughts on your request- First, a recording of the workshop
will be available a week after convention (on our web site).

Second, I will say now, ask now that those members in attendance at Detroit,
let us make an effort to spend some time together. Think on how we can make
that happen.

I will be flying in that day and won't arrive until 625 at the airport.  I
will probably miss it.  Is there anyway I can contact someone for some
writing help, tips, or to at least find out about the meeting?

Dear STYLIST members

During the up coming national convention the Writers' Division will present
our annual workshop. The date is July 3rd. Our guest is a well known
Michigan author, Lev Raphael. In recent communications, I have asked Lev to
provide us with information and materials for us to read and see what he is
all about. Below is a bio and note about the workshop. (More will be coming
in days to come.)


Lev Raphael grew up in New York but got over it and has lived half his life
in Michigan where he found a certain small fame. The author of nineteen
books in many genres, and hundreds of reviews, stories and articles, he's
seen his work discussed in journals, books, conference papers, and assigned
in college and university classrooms. Which means he's become homework. Who
knew? Lev's books have been translated into close to a dozen languages, some
of which he can't identify, and he's done hundreds of readings and talks
across the U.S. and Canada, and in France, England, Scotland, Austria,
Germany and Israel. Lev escaped academia in 1988 to write full-time and has
never looked back, and has had subsequent careers as a print and radio
reviewer, a newspaper columnist, and a radio talk show host. His new memoir,
My Germany, was just published by the University of Wisconsin Press. You can
learn more about Lev and his work on his website http://www.levraphael.com.
Lev has reviewed for the Washington Post, Boston Review, NPR, the Ft. Worth
Star-Telegram, Jerusalem Report and the Detroit Free Press where he had a
mystery column for almost a decade. On his radio show he interviewed writers
like Salman Rushdie, Erica Jong, and Julian Barnes among many other authors.

In July. Lev will be sharing his writer's story: how he got started; what
and who inspired him; what's kept him going; how he works; what publishing
means to him; and why he writes.
