Free or by donation
Event Description
WRITER TALK is our live interview series designed to pull back the magical curtain on the publishing world. Join us for a casual chitchat—not a workshop or webinar—just a low-key Q&A between host and guest where you can bring your writing and publishing questions.
Digital doors open at 6:55 pm.
**This event will be recorded. A link to the recording will be emailed to registrants within a week of the session. The recording will be available for 45 days.

After the initial Q&A, attendees will have the opportunity to ask their own questions and join the discussion. If you’ve ever wanted to sit in on the kinds of conversations that usually happen behind closed doors, then we shall save you a spot!
