Just a reminder: this Saturday, I'll be teaching a free class on Marketing for Writers at the Riverside Public Library from 2-4. We'll talk about fun things like submitting to agents and publishers (and even making cool little YouTube trailers!) Bring your questions and writerly dreams.

Also, this Sunday, I'm going to be part of an amazing CODEPINK International Women's Day Activist Training Camp in Malibu.

Join us on March 9th to celebrate International Women's Day CODEPINK-style with an informative and inspirational activist training day camp. We're planning an exciting Sunday of workshops, group activities, a delicious lunch, and special guest performances! Learn how to organize creative peace actions, know your rights, become an activist writer, gain a deeper understanding of the peace movement and the ongoing occupation of Iraq, and help create banners for actions on the 5th anniversary of the war in Iraq. Bring your talents, passion for peace, and your creative ideas and join us in the LA area!

I'm thrilled to be part of it.

There will be inspiring International Women's Day activist trainings offered all over the country this weekend. Click here to find one in your region. Also, click here to sign CODEPINK's letter to remind women members of Congress to take action to support Iraqi women. Women for Women International recently published a deeply disturbing report about the dire situation of women in Iraq. Let's do what we can this International Women's Day to honor Iraqi women and make sure their voices are heard.
