For this year’s craft panel, we’re going to have a number of authors of books in series (or duologies) to talk about the pluses and minuses of writing this way. Besides the usual questions – how much do you plot out ahead of time? how much advance world-building do you do? how do you keep track of things as you go along? – we’ll also discuss how reader reaction plays a part (or not) in the creation, and also what the appeal and drawbacks of writing a series are.

Authors:

  • Dahlia Adler
  • Sarah Rees Brennan
  • Seth Fishman
  • Michelle Hodkin
  • Barry Lyga
  • Marie Rutkoski
  • Eliot Schrefer

Moderator: David Levithan
