DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][mk_circle_image src=”https://www.writingsalons.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/alison_banner.jpg”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1783729379823{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n\nAlison Luterman is the author of four books of poetry\, including In the Time of Great Fires and Desire Zoo\, and an e-book of personal essays\, Feral City.

At eighteen\, she emigrated alone to the United States\, where she spent decades as a hospital physician before turning to writing. Her memoir and essays circle themes of grief\, resilience\, belonging\, and the search for home. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][mk_circle_image src=”https://www.writingsalons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/jenniferlewis_kate-e1778256057759.jpg”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1783729488182{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Jennifer Lewis is a writer\, editor\, and the publisher of Red Light Lit. Her debut short story collection\, The New Low\, is published by Black Lawrence Press. Jennifer won the Nomadic Press Bindle Award for her short story\, “New Low\,” and the Los Angeles Review Flash Fiction award for “Put a Teat in It.” She received her MFA in creative writing from San Francisco State University in May 2015. She teaches at The Writing Salon in San Francisco.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][mk_circle_image src=”https://www.writingsalons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/tanis-oconnor1.jpeg”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1783730318603{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Tanis O’Connor began writing in her teens\, when she was a horse girl\, before horse girls were a thing\, and when she thought horses would be in her life forever. In her early 20s\, when she was immortal\, she wrote erotic poetry and fearlessly performed spoken word. Many mortal years later\, she’s performing spoken word again—not as fearlessly but maybe more courageously—and writing stories of loss and revelation\, while trying to conjure a subtle magical realism.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
