Talk:James Goldberg

additional information on connection
James Goldberg and I attended the same creative fiction workshop in 2010 or 2011 when we were both in graduate school in English at BYU. We weren't close, but I am friends with his younger brother. While James was president of the Association for Mormon Letters (AML) 2020-2021, I was on the AML board, but we did not interact much during our mutual volunteer work--he worked behind the scenes with other institutions to try to promote Mormon letters; I helped with judging for the AML awards and discussions about AML's 100 best books list, which James was not involved with because of obvious conflicts of interest. A curator at the BYU library where I work suggested that we create a page for James in conjunction with acquiring his papers for our special collections. Knowing that I had a connection with James, I assigned my student, who did not know him personally, to create the page. I asked James to upload a selfie to Commons for us to use on this page, which he did. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
