My former and present students at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival have had a great year! Many of them have finished their novels and memoirs, and some have published them! Here is a probably not definitive round-up of their recent book publications. I hope you will join me in celebrating their accomplishments (and yours!) and buying and reading these wonderful books:

 

Patricia Boomsma’s latest novel, Flotsam, came out at the end of September, 2023. Please visit her website and find it at bookshop.org or wherever books are sold:

Renee Enna’s novel Serendipity at Sea is available on Amazon as a paperback and e-book:

Sally Stevens, author of I Sang That: A Memoir of from Hollywood, published in 2022, will also be publishing The Odyssey of Mrs. Naomi Billingsley very soon. Please look for it, and in the meantime, please find the former wherever books are sold.
