Join Kami Garcia in conversation with Renée Ahdieh to celebrate the release of Smoke in the Sun.
One of the biggest obstacles any writer faces is finishing the first draft of a novel. As Joyce Carol Oates said, “Getting the first draft finished is like pushing a peanut with your nose across a very dirty floor.” Enter National Novel Writing Month, which has generated one of the most effective approaches to writing a first draft of a novel and bounding to new imaginative heights. In this session, authors Marissa Meyer, Kami Garcia, Danielle Paige, Susan Dennard, and Grant Faulkner will discuss ways to banish your inner editor, dive into your work with creative abandon, and write boldly on the page. Come prepared to write-with abandon!
Moderator: Grant Faulkner
Panelists: Kami Garcia, Marissa Meyer, Danielle Paige, & Susan Dennard
