Introducing the Literary Update’s
New Editors and Support Committee
Since May, a new support committee has formed to re-imagine and re-create the Literary Update newsletter and website. As you all know, Tim Nonn has stepped in as editor of the e-mail newsletter. He has set up a g-mail account especially for Literary Update communications. Please send all future announcements to this address: sonomacountyliteraryupdate@gmail.com.
Jo-Anne Rosen and Tim will be co-editing the Sonoma County Literary Update blog, which functions as the Update’s Internet “home.” Other members of the committee are helping re-design the blog, adding new elements,including a regular feature by the Sonoma County Poet Laureate.
The Literary Update Support Committee is open to everyone. The next meeting is 7 PM on Wednesday, August 11, at the Glaser Center: 547 Mendocino Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95401-5241.
If you’d like to be part of the conversation about the new Literary Update, you can also join the SoCoLitUpdate Yahoogroup. You can use this link to join: http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=SoCoLitUpdate.

Literary Update Online/Collaboration with Poetry Flash
Joyce Jenkins at Poetry Flash has graciously added a link on her website. When you send your announcements of readings, events, contests, and workshops for inclusion in the SoCo Literary Update, please cc Poetry Flash for inclusion in the news from Northern California (e-mail: info@poetryflash.org). That way your announcements will reach the Flash’s broader base of readers. And you can use the Poetry Flash website for easy access back to the SoCo Literary Update as well. You’ll find the new link on the right-hand side of Poetry Flash’s home page: http://poetryflash.org.
