Seeking recommendations for writers and historians in Haiti, Jamaica, and Cozumel, Mexico.

I could use some help… When Writing Excuses goes on the cruise next year, we’re going to be docking in a couple of different countries and are hoping to line up authors and historians as guest speakers. I can research names, what is harder is finding out who is a good teacher. Particularly when I’m looking at a country where I don’t speak the language.

So… people of the internet.

Who would you recommend that we try to contact in the following locations?

  • Labedee, Haiti
  • Falmouth,Jamaica
  • Cozumel, Mexico

We’re looking for people who are able to unpack their craft and relay their theories to students. Not all writers can do that. If you have personal experience with a teacher, that would be fantastic. If not, someone whose writing you admire.

We’re also looking for historians who can give an insider view of local history.

In both cases, someone who is a geek and digs science fiction and fantasy would be a bonus. So… got any recommendations for us?

  2. This doesn’t exactly fit your criteria but if you can get Tiphanie Yanique that would awesome! She’s from St Thomas and migrates between there and Brooklyn and New York. Her book “How to escape from a Leper Colony” is beautiful
