A Peek Behind the Curtain: How Stories Become Novels

What really goes into writing and publishing a novel? Join author and actress Kristin Wollett for a behind-the-scenes look at the journey from a simple idea to a finished book. Through funny stories, real publishing experiences, and an insider’s perspective, Kristin will pull back the curtain on character creation, editing, audiobook narration, working with publishers, and the moments readers never get to see. Perfect for book lovers and aspiring writers alike, ending with an extended Q&A where no question is off limits.
