If you’re in Portland on May 3rd and you love writing, you will want to attend the Ed Lin Writer’s Workshop, presented by the Asian American Journalists Association–Portland and Thymos, co-sponsored by Friends of Portland Chinatown. It is a writing workshop, and Ed will be working to help attendees find their writing muse. It takes place at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association on May 3rd, 6pm, at 317 NW Davis in the heart of Portland Chinatown. It’s FREE, and there will be food. Much thanks to everyone who is putting this together.
