Get a peek behind the creative curtain with three full-time writers of popular fiction, crime, up-lit, and historical all enjoying success both at home and abroad. Covering everything from ideas to deadlines, agents to TV options, six-figure deals, and number one bestsellers, this dynamic discussion will reveal the reality of writing full-time. A conversation between Catherine Ryan Howard, Hazel Gaynor, and Carmel Harrington about their lives as successful writers, being classified under a certain genre of fiction, defining moments in their career, and reasons to keep writing.
