Mary Payne will discuss the legacy of Peter Elbow (Writing
With Power) and how we can use his experience to enhance our writing.
She will finish with a few words about historical fiction. Mary is a graduate
of Phillips University and the University of Oklahoma.
She
has been actively researching and writing since the 1980s. She’s currently the
president of Galaxy, the editor of Write Line, and a member of OWFI
and SCBWI. Her books are Adoption’s Hidden History and Lyncoya:
Andrew Jackson’s Adopted Indian Son. Her current project is a Young Adult
novel, Surviving Summer. When not writing, three acres of yard work
beckon, but her favorite thing to do is to curl up with a good book.
