He now mentors emerging writers and frequently lectures on writing and publishing. He is the executive editor of Best New Writing, and the chair of The Eric Hoffer Award for books and prose.

In Klim's lectures, writings, workshops, and salons this award-winning storyteller entertains with contemporary tales that extend the American experience while transcending the ordinary. The Book Reporter dubbed Klim "one of the top [novelists] of our day."
