Napa Valley Writers will host Angela Pneuman, director of the Napa Valley Writers’ Conference.

Angela will share her experience as a fiction writer and teacher of creative writing at Stanford University while living in Napa Valley and serving as the director of the Napa Valley Writers’ Conference. She’ll talk about building community support for literary programs and how writers can support other writers in an often-competitive business. She’ll also speak about the upcoming conference including faculty readings and other events that are open to the public, and she is happy to answer any questions that come up.

Angela Pneuman is the author of the novel Lay It on My Heart (Mariner/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) and the short story collection Home Remedies (Harcourt). Her fiction has appeared in Best American Short Stories, Iowa Review, New England Review, Ploughshares, Virginia Quarterly Review, Glimmer Train, and the Los Angeles Review, and she is a contributor to Salon, The Believer, and The Rumpus. She is a former Wallace Stegner Fellow in fiction at Stanford, and she holds an M.F.A. in writing and a Ph.D. in English.
