It’s that most wonderful time of the year… the Festival of the Book! That means (when you live in Charlottesville) that all your favorite writers come to town. And, if you’re a writer, it means you get to see lots of pals.

This week I’m definitely going to lots of panels and events (Kwame Alexander! Margot Lee Sheerly!), but I’m also on a few panels on Saturday.

Saturday, March 25, 2017:

At noon, I’ll be moderating a panel with Megan Abbott, Julia Dahl, Ed Lin and Vu Tran about the mysterious worlds they create in their fiction.

• Crime Wave: The Mysterious Worlds of Abbott, Dahl, Lin, and Tran (moderator)
  Sat. March 25, 12:00 PM – Omni Hotel

And then at 2 pm, I’ll be critiquing the first 100 words for writers along with members of my writing group (Jennifer Elvgren, Deb Prum and Andy Straka).

• Publishing Day: How to Hook a Reader on the First Page
  Sat. March 25, 2:00 PM – Omni Hotel

Can’t wait!
