    by Rosaleen Bertolino

    The third Prose Café Bellas Artes will be held in Sala Literaria on September 5 with readings by three highly accomplished and award-winning writers. Prose Café is a curated series of readings featuring writers of fiction and nonfiction presenting their work in a casual setting. Please join us for a memorable evening.


    Lynda SchorLynda Schor is the author of five collections of short fiction, most recently, Sexual Harassment Rules, published by Spuyten Duyvil Press in Brooklyn. She’s had stories and articles in Mademoiselle, Playboy, Ms., The Village Voice, and many other literary journals and anthologies. She’s won prizes such as a Maryland Arts Grant, as well as residencies at many arts colonies. She has taught fiction writing at The Maryland Institute, Pratt Institute, Western Washington University, Florida International University, and Sweet Briar College. She was on the writing faculty at The New School for 26 years. She now lives, writes and paints in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.


    Fredrika Sprengle

    Fredrika Sprengle was born and raised in Seattle and calls an island in the Pacific Northwest home, although since coming to SMA last year, she is rethinking that. In Seattle, she studied with Charles Johnson, David Wagoner, and Meredith Steinbach. Later, at the University of Houston’s writing program she studied with Donald Barthelme, Phillip Lopate, and Vivian Gornick.  In Master Classes at Hedgebrook she worked with Faulkner Award winner Karen Joy Fowler and former Groundlings member and TV comedy writer and producer Wendy Goldman. Fredrika has taught in college classrooms and mountain bike trails. She combines her two loves in her business, Well Told Tales, where she creates in-person and online workshops for creative writers, coaches writers, and edits manuscripts.


    Marly Swick

    Marly Swick’s short stories have appeared in such publications as The Atlantic Monthly, The O’Henry Prize Stories, Redbook, McCalls, Playgirl, and a variety of literary quarterlies. She has published two short story collections, A Hole in the Language and The Summer Before The Summer of Love, as well as two novels, Paper Wings and Evening News, with HarperCollins and Little, Brown, respectively. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, she has taught Creative Writing on the faculties of the University of Wisconsin, the University of Nebraska, and the University of Missouri. In 2013, during a sabbatical, she came to San Miguel to teach a short workshop at the San Miguel Writers’ Conference and became one of those legendary impulsive fools who bought a house the day before she left to go back to the States: One of the few impulsive decisions that she does not regret.
