Hear Jana's secrets

Hey everyone: Joan sent me this notice below about Jana Bommersbach speaking on her "secret writing tips" on April 18. I urge everyone to go and learn something.

If you aren't familiar with Bommersbach's work, you should be. Whether you agree with her politics and viewpoints or not, she is a valuable role model for any reporter in town, and particularly female reporters. She is strong, smart, savvy and infinitely talented. She has a monthly column in Phoenix Magazine, and her career spans decades in the Phoenix media. Over that time, she has collected a boatload of well-deserved awards.
