May 2: Our annual "Women Writers in LA" panel!
Here are the confirmed speakers our annual "Women Writers in Los Angeles" panel, planned for May 2, 10am-12noon. This has become an annual favorite of the seminars' audience, always worth attending.

Her non-fiction works include The Woman Who Knew Too Much: Alice Stewart and the Secrets of Radiation (2001) and the recent Insomniac (2009), which mixes memoir with scientific reportage and addresses the scientific neglect of a disorder that affects millions.
Dorothy Randall Gray is Los Angeles-based poet, author of the best-selling book Soul Between The Lines: Freeing Your Creative Spirit Through Writing. Dorothy has been a commentator for National Public Radio, literary consultant to the United Nations Committee on Women, and delegate to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing which commissioned her to create a poem for their opening ceremony, as well as a featured reader and workshop facilitator at many universities, cultural institutions and venues.
