BJC will interview author Joseph Heywood.

Kalamazoo Writers Dis-Organization Where Southwest Michigan Writers come together – everyone welcome!

Tuesday April 7, 4-6pm

Kalamazoo Public Library Downtown – VanDeusen Room

A Writing Life: Meet Joe Heywood!

Bonnie Jo Campbell talks with the extra ordinary Michigan writer: literary craftsman, UP adventurer, and author of 24 books, including his popular Woods Cop Mysteries.

We’ll discuss how writing and life come together in his writing (and yours!) and how reading, writing, and publishing can bring us joy or beat the crap out of us. (This could happen to you!). Bring questions.

All welcome to listen and share thoughts with fellow writers! As always, we invite local writers to meet up, share news, stories, information, and struggles. Let’s dream together—we need each other more than ever in 2026! Bring snacks for yourself or to share if you like. Contact us at KalamazooWriters@gmail.com
