And check out Sarah on March 5 (Room 310, Level 300 at 10:35 am) at her panel, “Inspired by a True Story”: Fusing Fact & Fiction from Headlines to History with @msjuliadahl @vanessalillie @joannarakoff @sarahmseltzer @elizlsilver. These five contemporary novelists, whose works are influenced by real people and historical events, will explore how to balance facts and fiction. What challenges and opportunities do narratives like this present? And what questions arise as authors sell and promote these books?
Angry? Outraged? Anxious? Grieving? Us too. With everything happening in the world, we need a space to pause and pour it all out on the page.
