Crafting Popular Fiction: How to Write and Sell Genre Fiction
Wendy Corsi Staub, the New York Times best-selling author of more than 70 novels, from thrillers and women’s suspense to chick lit and young adult supernaturals talks with Jane K. Cleland, the IMBA best-selling author of the Josie Prescott antiques mystery series about writing commercial fiction. Where do ideas come from? Should you write for the market or should you write from your heart? How can a new author break in? What does it take to write a best seller? They’ll be plenty of time for questions in this frank conversation between two writing pros.
