Sarah Cortez

Yesterday I received an email from Sarah Cortez, of Houston. She is a teacher of creative writing at the University of Houston and recently put published an anthology that has memoir essays written by 36 high school and college-aged Latinos across the U.S. entitled "Windows into My World: Latino Youth Write Their Lives." This book project grew out of an undergraduate course which she conceptualized and taught, entitled "Memoir and Mexican American Identity."

I have invited Sarah to speak to our Society during an upcoming meeting and she is checking her calendar for availability. Thank you to Society member and award-winning author Diane Gonzales Bertrand for putting her in touch with me.

Let's hope Sarah can make it to San Antonio soon to speak to us!
