Kuma2.net Blog

We’ve added a new feature to the Kuma Blog — a literary events calendar.  These are NOT Kuma sponsored events–just announcements that may be of interest.

To make it easier to find events in your area, we put the state abbreviation after the title of the event. 

If you would like to see an event listed here (readings/writing workshops/book launch parties, etc), you should add it to our main event calendar. We import events from that calendar to this one.

The Heartland Institute for Transformation invites you to
