| Join novelists Josh Weil (The Great Glass Sea) and Mike Harvkey (In The Course of Human Events) for a dynamic craft seminar that asks writers to take imaginative leaps: "We'll look at the challenges, both internal and external, to breaking far away from yourself in your fiction, and the ways in which doing so can bring you closer to your core—and the core of your story." Tattered Cover will be on the premises selling Weil's and Harvkey's books; recent rave reviews appeared in the New York Times Book Review (The Great Glass Sea) and Publishers Weekly (In the Course of Human Events). Register here.
