July WOW Factor:
Kelly Braffet: "I'd Planned to Go By My Initials: One Woman's Experience in Publishing"
| |
Monday, July 14, 2014 5:30 - 7:30 pm
|
"I'm a writer. I'm a woman. I swear a lot, and I write dark, creepy books about people who also swear a lot. Trying to succeed in the publishing industry while navigating the fairly choppy waters created by all of these factors swirling around me has been, and continues to be, an experience that swings from exhilarating to infuriating from one split second to the next. Join me and I'll try to make you laugh while I tell you about it. With any luck, you'll never look at a book cover the same way again."
~Kelly Braffet
