Today I’ll be moderating a panel on literary blogs at the first Arab-American writers’ conference, whose theme is “Kallimuna–Speak To Us.” Fellow bloggers Randa Jarrar and Leila Abu-Saba McLeod will participate, so I’m sure the discussion will be very lively. You have to register for the conference to be able to attend, but it should be fun. And there are lots of other panels going on as well. Details:
