Prospective Screenwriters!-Get the Low-Down

Sometimes attending a simple lecture can be as inspiring as the mystic muses themselves. One can be especially inspired if a talented speaker,such as our own Michael Mahin is the one speaking. Mahin will be lecturing at the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Orange County Chapter's Editor's Day this Saturday. Here, he will be speaking on the way screenwriting techniques can be applied to children's book writing--aspiring screenwriters/child lit authors, get inspired!

An 80's Flashback with English Department Lecturer Dr. Mahin


English Department Lecturer Michael Mahin not only has some interesting theories concerning literature but can also explain why music from the 1980's still continues to draw the interest of legions of fans. Mahin explains, “Most ’80s music was utterly escapist. The ’80s never pretended to be something it wasn’t. It was indulgent, raw, experimental, but most of all, it was fun.” You may catch Mahin giving a Literature lecture at SDSU, in the latest San Diego Reader in the article "Can't Get Enough Journey", and, maybe most surprisingly, in his 80's coverband Neon Nation (available for hire for your next party, wedding or corporate event).
