Join us for the final Writers Read of 2023, when Dan Hibshman, a fiction and expository prose writer, will be the featured reader. A resident of Mendocino County since 1969, Dan wrote for the alternative weekly, Mendocino Grapevine, in the 1970s and ‘80s. He was an editor at The Yolla Bolly Press in Round Valley, which led to his own book, Your Affordable Solar Home, published by Sierra Club Books in 1982. Work experience at the Mendocino County Law Library led to his 2020 publication, Disquiet, a collection of linked short stories set in and around a Northern California county courthouse. In September of 2023 he published a wide-ranging collection, Of a Lifetime: Stories 1963-2023. He will be reading primarily from this new book. Dan will be followed around 8:00 by an open mic.

Check out the review of Dan’s new book from the November 28 issue of the Ukiah Daily Journal.
