Whether you have a great idea for a bestseller stuck in your head or you just enjoy writing as a hobby, don't miss out on your chance to learn from the pros. Attendees to this event will be able to both listen to and participate in a dynamic conversation with a panel of published authors! The discussion will be moderated by Suzanne Sweeten, a columnist and reporter with the Hot Springs Village Voice, and will focus on how the eight authors were able to translate their ideas from thought to reality. The panel will answer a range of questions from both the moderator and from the audience in this interactive program.
