A proud Houstonian, Sarah Cortez is a cop, poet, short story writer and editor of the award-winning nonfiction work, Windows Into My World, a collection of short memoirs written by young authors.
Along with Cortez, two other contributing writers will be present to discuss the art of writing memoirs.
Cortez is a consummate teacher…
“There is no joy like the joy of helping others become accomplished at something you love. My love of all kinds of writing – poetry, fiction, essay – has served as the inspiration for my teaching in a wide variety of venues, e.g. elementary school, college, and in the community. I have taught creative writing at the University of Houston for over six years, and I also teach workshops and master classes throughout the country.”

I love the “consummate teacher.” I think there are some of us who just must share–teachers and writers are related that way. Thank you for a very nice post.
Best,
Carolyn Howard-Johnson
