Writers on Process - Open Book

Dave Madden, DA Powell, and Susan Steinberg, moderated by Laleh Khadivi

The Brower Center - Goldman Theater

Four writers, two fiction, one nonfiction and one poet, will discuss what it feels like to start a book and take the idea to completion. The conversation will roam, but attention will be given to false starts, stalls, endurance, inspiration, mesmerism, the battle between life and art and what it means to be finished. This is an all-genre discussion, and we welcome authors at all stages of their project, offering frank and lively guidance from a combined 100 years of writing!

There will not be table space provided in our Writers' Workshop venues, so in addition to bringing paper and a pen, we recommend bringing a book or other hard surface to write on.
