January 25 guest speaker

Our guest speaker for next week's class will be Diane Mapes, who will talk about voice, humor, and establishing a platform as a writer. Her specialties are modern lifestyle and especially the travails of single women; she wrote a book irresistibly titled How to Date in a Post-Dating World. Here's her website: http://www.howtodatebook.com/

Before Jan. 25 please read these two of Diane's pieces, which she'll talk about. It might be helpful to make prints to refer to, or bring your laptop.
