Snapping The Slump: How To Keep Going When Ideas, Motivation, And Confidence Are In Short Supply

Novelists Gwen Florio, Craig Lancaster, and Elisa Lorello each have written multiple books, and each has experienced commercial and critical success, as well as failures. All three have endured times when they thought they might not write anymore, and they’ve emerged from those episodes—which go beyond writer’s block and the frustrations inherent in any long-form writing project—with renewed determination. Writers and creatives of all backgrounds and genres will find this conversation insightful and empowering.

More information on this event, as well as registration links, coming soon!

His work has also been honored by the Utah Book Awards (The Summer Son) and with an Independent Publisher Book Awards gold medal (the short story collectionThe Art of Departure), among other citations.
