At the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, Ildy was on hand to promote renowned writers’ group Southwest Manuscripters and their current anthology, When Words Collide, on which she served as executive editor and project director.  (She also served as the 2012 president of Southwest Manuscripters, which counted the late Ray Bradbury among its members!)

Ildy and her longtime manager Michael Scanlon talked about her many arts-related professions, and Ildy read her award-winning poem, “Moonlight Over Venice”.
