Highlights of Monday's SLHW Meeting

The Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio held the first meeting for 2012 last Monday, January 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble San Pedro Crossings.

The society was honored to receive as first guest for the year, five time Emmy Award winner journalist, Mr. Patricio Espinoza.

Mr. Espinoza’s talk dealt with the constant evolution of news broadcasting and the opportunities available for writers in the virtual world. His current project, a hyperlocal news website, AlamoCityTimes.com, is an open forum and Mr. Espinoza encouraged the members of the society to participate and send their pieces in English and in Spanish.

Thank you, Mr. Espinoza for visiting with us and we look forward to working with you this year!

We also received the visit of SLHWSA member, Florence Weinberg, a writer and retired university professor who came to extend an invitation to all members to the upcoming presentation of her Three Pfefferkorn mystery novels which have also been translated into Spanish by SLHWSA member, André Csihas. This event will take place at the UNAMof San Antonio Campus, Thursday, January 19, 2012at 6:30 p.m.

Let’s support our fellow writers and Keep writing!
