September Events
Fellow Writer,
September brings a wealth of events to the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio thanks to the celebration of Hispanic Heritage month nationwide.
Our staunch supporters--Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing and La Cantera--have generously offered to host two fundraising events for us, but it will require us to do a lot of promotion to our family, friends and colleagues.
The first fundraising event will be held on Tuesday, September 22, at the Barnes and Noble, La Cantera, at 7 p.m. This event is entitled:
• Platicas: Latino Authors Talk About Publishing
Listen to local authors published by Arte Publico Press, Cinco Puntos Press, Wings Press
and other small presses.
Three local authors will share their publication stories:
Diane Gonzales Bertrand – author of Ricardo’s Race and other books
Xavier Garza – author of Charro Claus and the Tejas Kid and other books
Carmen Tafolla – author of What Can You Do with a Rebozo? And other books
Our second fundraising event will be held at Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing, on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. This event will feature a multitude of talented members of our Society speaking about their works.
Authors scheduled to appear include: Diana Lopez, Barbara Renaud Gonzalez, Lupe Gonzalez, Gil Dominguez, Josie Mixon, James Michael Doughty (aka James Munoz—KENS-5 News), Carlos Flores, Jim Stewart, Berta Jacobson, Roxanna Montes-Bazaldua, Lupe Flores and Becky Galindo.
Vouchers for both events are attached to this email. Please take a moment to print some out and pass them along to everyone you know! We will get credit for every purchase made with the vouchers and a portion of the sales will be donated to the Society.
Don't forget our monthly meeting, Monday, Sept. 14 at Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing at 7:30 p.m., featuring Barbara Renaud Gonzalez! If you have not had a chance to hear Barbara in person, don't miss this free opportunity! Barbara is the author of the well-reviewed work, Golondrina, Why Did You Leave Me?
Here are some events that are going on at Palo Alto College in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month that you might be interested in:
