KaBooM Writing Group Panel at KWWC

This past Saturday at the Kentucky Women Writers Conference, the KaBooM Writing Group (Mary H. Alexander, Susan Christerson Brown, Jan Isenhour, Leatha Kendrick, Gail M. Koehler, Lynn Pruett and Pam Sexton) presented a panel discussion titled, "Collective Energy: Taking Our Writing to the Next Level." Jan, Executive Director of the Carnegie Center, and many other writers in the group are regular workshop instructors. We thought that you would enjoy a few photos from the session.


The Carnegie Center would like to congratulate the group on the completion of their anthology, When the Bough Breaks. We are so excited for you all!
