Hello Litquakers,
Our Craft and the Creative Life series is right around the corner! This is a weekend for writers who want to learn more about navigating the process of writing and publishing real works of art. Whether you’re a student finding your voice and publishing for the first time, or a long-time author looking to expand your skillset and improve your workflow, we’re sure you’ll take away valuable skills to apply to your literary life.
Keep scrolling for a few highlights, and be sure to head to our website for the complete schedule. See you there!
Stay tuned for more Litquake news, and be sure to stop by our website for a look at our other upcoming events, including our next Poetic Tuesday, and our final Epicenter event with Rita Chang-Eppig. |

| Three first-time authors reveal the path they took to publication. For some, the path is straightforward. For others, it’s a long, meandering trip. Bring your questions! |
|
| How do novelists structure their writing and their writing day? How do they research their ideas? Must you only write about what you know? Four bestselling novelists will discuss their art and craft with Jasmin Darznik. |
|
| Do you ever wish you’d have a full day to devote to your writing? Or a full week? Or a full month? That’s the gift of the writing residency. You don’t have to be a published, prize-winning author to book a residency, work on your craft, and meet fellow authors. This panel features authors who’ve found residencies to be an integral part of their success. |
|
| Experienced authors know that revision is the key to great writing. Even great passages need to be sometimes axed, to make the greater piece of writing better. This panel will gather writers who will read their deleted darlings and talk about the pain—and triumph—of revising. |
