About
Join authors Lesley Crewe and Sarah Leipciger for this spirited talk on the stories, characters, and plot twists that juuuuust didn’t quite make it. Together, they’ll share their experiences, answer questions, and shed light on the process of constructing narratives by highlighting what worked…and what didn’t.
