2016
Houston Writers Guild, Mini-Conference, March 19, 2016, Location TBA, CONFIRMED. – I will do a break-out session and hear pitches. www.houstonwritersguild.org
Johnnie will be part of the leadership team, presenting at Cursillo #261 as part of the Cursillo Movement of South Mississippi, April 9-12, 2016. It is a member of The National and International Cursillo Movement. The Cursillo Movement in the United States was organized on a national basis in 1965. A National Secretariat was formed and the National Cursillo Office (currently in Jarrell, Texas) was established. Today, Cursillo is a worldwide movement with centers in nearly all South and Central American countries, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Austria, Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and in several African countries. In 1980, the Cursillo Movement established a worldwide international office, the OMCC (Organismo Mundial de Cursillos de Cristiandad). The international office is located in Portugal for the 2014-2017 term.[1]In the Cursillo movement, being “in colors” is to be in God’s grace. For that reason, Cursillo participants (cursillistas) greet each other with the phrase “De Colores” (in Colors).

Mississippi University for Women invites Johnnie Bernhard, agent with Loiacono Literary Agency and author of A Good Girl, to give a presentation on the submission process.
Professor Kendall Dunkelberg, Mississippi University for Women professor and director of the Creative Writing low-residency MFA, has invited Johnnie Bernhard to give a presentation on the submission process in traditional publishing on June 1, 2016 at the MUW campus in Jackson, MS. I will also offer pitch sessions for the students. He has graciously invited her back once A Good Girl is published (Texas Review Press, 2017).
Professor Dunkelberg’s most recent work, Barrier Island Suite, was published by Texas Review Press. The collection of poetry is inspired by Ocean Springs’ artist, Walter Anderson. The book cover for A Good Girl is designed by Ocean Springs’ artist, Grady Byrd. The Mississippi Gulf Coast has been my home since Hurricane Katrina and also serves as part of the setting for the novel. Serendipity!
