Congratulations to Kim Wyatt and the El Dorado Arts Council. Kim’s Bona Fide Books is an independent press based in South Lake Tahoe whose mission is to publish and support new voices, to help writers find their readers, and to build community through storytelling.
Kim is a powerful force, here locally, and I can only imagine the benefit she will provide to the Council. She is a conduit of literacy and is a wonderful supporter of the arts in our community. I see greater things on the horizon due to this pairing.
