Sisters of the Pen

Karin Kallmaker's posts about other sapphic writers, particularly the foremothers of sapphic fiction, like Dorothy Allison and Lee Lynch. Women we all should be so lucky to know.

Another Stellar Moment of Celebrity Gazing for Me

Karin Kallmaker 10/22/2009 Sisters of the Pen

GCLS 2009 – Orlando!

Karin Kallmaker 07/23/2009 Events and Appearances, Sisters of the Pen

What is this item? That’s a mousepad, and it’s up for silent auction to benefit the GCLS Scholarship Fund. Why is it special? It’s a copy of one I customized for myself to motivate me to meet my deadlines. Maybe it’ll help the winner more than it has me.

Something More Permanent Than Books!

Karin Kallmaker 06/13/2009 Events and Appearances, Sisters of the Pen
