To all my #SanFrancisco peeps! This is going on tonight at the Hyatt Regency SFO, Embarcadero. It'll be lit and you won't want to miss it! 🍷📚🍷📚🍷 #BuyLocal #SupportIndies @sfwc.bsky.social

#SanFrancisco #WritersConference is going strong despite floods, power outages… awaiting the locusts and frogs and whatever else they can throw at us #NoFear #Resilience Here’s me moderating the first #SelfPublishing session of the day #SFWC @sfwc.bsky.social

Hoping for a better day today at the 2025 SFWC...with power! Currently, only around 50% of the Hyatt has power thanks to a generator truck. We apologize to all those attendees whose rooms do not and encourage you to contact the front desk if you would like to be moved.

Kicking off on time even though the hotel flooded earlier in the day. #Resilience is an important strength lol #SFWC @sfwc.bsky.social

Kicked off the @sfwc.bsky.social San Francisco Writers Conference with an evacuation and a flood! We weather every storm here at #sfwc2025
