Ann Gonzalez interview on The Book of Life blog

The Book of Life is a blog about Jewish people and the books they need; this week features a podcast interview with our own Ann Gonzalez, who wrote RUNNING FOR MY LIFE (which started out as a NaNoWriMo project).

The blog called the book, about mental illness, a mitzvah. Mazel tov, Ann!

Additional classes taught by Ann Gonzalez

In addition to Ann Gonzalez's online class, Writing for Teens and Tweens (mentioned in the previous post), Ann will also be teaching two classes this fall at North Seattle Community College:

Writing for Children and Young Adults
Thursday nights 7:00pm - 9:00pm, beginning on Oct. 1, 2009

Writing for Children and Young Adults is a craft and workshop class. Learn
the guidelines for writing for children and young adults, techniques for
strengthening your prose, and, best of all, join with other writers to
write, read, and receive feedback on your work in process.

Write a Novel in 30 Days at North Seattle Community College
Monday nights beginning Oct 19, 2009

Do you have a novel in your head, one you've been dying to commit to paper
but you haven't had the time? That's exactly why National Novel Writing
Month was invented -- to give you and the more than 100,000 other writers a
valid excuse for making the time to write. Who knows you may discover, as I
did, that you're a nano-novelist who writes best when writing all at once.

Ann Gonzalez, author of RUNNING FOR MY LIFE, a nanowrimo novel published in April, 2009. For more information contact ann@anngonzalez.com

Ann Gonzalez class and book trailer

One of Ann Gonzalez's students liked her class enough to make a book trailer for RUNNING FOR MY LIFE, Ann's novel that grew out of NaNoWriMo.



And speaking of her classes, the next session of her Writing for Teens and Tweens is set to start on September 13. This is a no risk class -- $100 for 8 weeks with a money-back guarantee. (Does anyone else offer that? I think not!)
