Working With People I Admire

Richard Santos

Richard Santos, Registration Director, Website & Onsite Coordination

The San Francisco Writers Conference has Richard and Barbara Santos industriously working behind the scenes before, during, and after the conference. They’ve helpedĀ  the directors and co-founders, Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada, since the early days when the conference was held in Hawaii.

My job is Registration Manager and when I have a problem, I head for Richard whose table is a few steps away from me. We’ve worked together during the conference for eight years, and I’ve enjoyed his humor, expertise, and friendship.

 

 

Barbara Santos, Marketing Director and Program Editor, writes the SFWC Newsletter and handles the Email Communications. She has responsibilities that are too many to list here. I look up and see her near us one minute and gone the next, solving problems everywhere. She co-authored a book with Mark Ellmen called Practice Aloha: Secrets to Living Life Hawaiian Style-Stories, Recipes and Lyrics from Hawai’i’s Favorite Folks. Click here

Barbara has an essay called “Sharing Aloha with Carmel Miranda” in my anthology Written Across the Genres. Carmel Miranda is a yummy recipe she included in the essay. Click here

I missed the opportunity to take Barbara’s photo this year. So here is Richard again.

Anthology Panel at the San Francisco Writers Conference

Anthology Panel at the San Francisco Writers Conference

At the San Francisco Writers Conference, I spoke on a panel with Camille Cusumano and Kate Farrell. We discussed our different experiences with putting together an anthology. Camille is the editor of four literary travel anthologies and Kate co-edited Times They were A-Changing: Women Remember the 60’s & 70’s. As you can see I talked about Written Across the Genres.

Barbara Santos was the moderator.

Thanks to George Cramer for taking the photo.

San Francisco Bay Bridge January 19, 2014

San Francisco Bay Bridge January 19, 2014

After the San Francisco Writers Conference volunteer meeting, we went to dinner at the Delancey Street Restaurant with a view of the S.F. Bay Bridge.

Nice dinner with enthusiastic talk about the up-coming S.F. Writers Conference, February 13th through the 16th. Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada work hard to provide the best writers conference for attendees and volunteers.

Check out their website for the 2014 events and speakers. I’m at the registration desk and welcome you to introduce yourself as an on-line contact.

Friday afternoon I will be speaking on an anthology panel with Barbara Santos, Kate Farrell, and Camille Cusumano.

Anthology Help from Barbara Santos

I had lunch today with Rich and Barbara Santos, friends from the San Francisco Writers Conference. Barbara co-authored the anthology, Practice Aloha, with Mark Ellman. It includes stories by Wayne Dyer, Mick Fleetwood, Gov. Neil Abercrombie, Hawaiian spiritual leaders, musicians, and lots of chefs. redroom.com/member/barbara-santos.

She had several suggestions for my anthology that I hope to publish this summer. We had an enjoyable time in Walnut Creek with perfect weather.
