Kelts, Kennedy, and Weston will participate in short readings of their respective works, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session on the writing profession, tips on getting published, and how their time spent in Japan through the JET Program has contributed to the success of their current careers. Moderating for the event will be Randall David Cook (Sake With the Haiku Geisha and Fate's Imagination).
