About Celebration of the Muse 

The 2013 Muse of the Year, Patricia Cleary Miller, will be celebrated at the second annual Celebration of the Muse on the evening of Wednesday, May 8 at the lovely home of Ann Slegman and Tom Isenberg. The Celebration was established as an annual fundraiser in 2012 to celebrate TWP’s 20th anniversary. The 2013 promises to be another delightful evening of food, wine and ceremony. All proceeds from the Celebration of the Muse benefit Writers Place readings, workshops, panel discussions, book signings, performance art, and public and educational programs.

About The Writers Place 

The Writers Place is a Kansas City literary community center, library, and gathering place for writers and readers. Since 1992, the TWP role has been to provide support, resources, guidance and inspiration for those in our region who care about the word as art. In addition to featuring writing workshops and readings by local, regional, and visiting writers of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, TWP community outreach programs seek to excite future audiences, expose underserved audiences and at-risk communities to the art form, and to give the tools of self expression to those in need.
