May 12, 2026

Hey writers,

We’ve got some great events coming up for you this week both online and in-person.

Here’s the round-up!

✍️ Online Events for Writers This Week

5.14 ✍️ A Conversation with Author Jordan Harper (Everybody Knows, A Violent Masterpiece) I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be interviewing author Jordan Harper this Thursday 5/14 at 10am PT / 1pm ET on Substack Live! Jordan Harper is the Edgar Award winning author of books like She Runs Shotgun, Everybody Knows, and his latest LA noir novel, A Violent Masterpiece. The absolutely stunning prose and character development in Everybody Knows and A Violent Masterpiece made them ~ instant ~ favorite reads of mine, and if you want a look into the grittier side of Los Angeles, these tight thrillers are exactly what you should read next.
