First Draft: A Creative Writing Social with Felipe Bomeny
May 13th, 2025 / 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM / via Zoom
Miami Book Fair presents First Draft, a series of free and informal writing events where community, craft, and rapid-fire creativity meet for monthly themed virtual salons where writers get social, share their work, and leave with great stories.
Theme:Writing With A Sense Of Place.
What does it mean to write with a sense of place? And how can we think of place beyond the conventions of setting? In this First Draft session, we will consider the possibilities of place in our writing, and the ways in which a sense of place can enrich our characters, settings, details, and even our sentences on a line level.
Felipe Bomeny, this Fiction Fellow of our Emerging Writer Fellowship, is a graduate of the University of Chicago and holds an MFA in fiction from the University of Texas, Austin. His work has appeared in Michigan Quarterly Review and Waybill, among other publications.
