Andrew and Alex will discuss whether their stories are the antidote to doomscrolling in our fractured world, why their books almost had the same titles, and how their (in)famous writers’ group has shaped their creative journeys.
An opportunity to present your questions and participate in the live 15 minute Q&A session will be available at the end of the webinar.
This webinar author series hosted by the Friends of the Library is open to alumni, staff, students, and members of the community.
