Judith Briles: On Speaking Professionally
BookBrush BookMarcon
Part I – Career Overviews Which comes first, the uber-success of best-selling authors? Or the generosity and inclusivity that reaches out to uplift fellow authors? For these two guests — each of whom has written over 40 books — it’s hard to say because each has achieved startling accolades while focusing so much of their energies to help others. One lives in the U.S., the other in New Zealand.
What’s the same? What’s different? Though these two authors write in very different genres, their individual commitments to literary excellence, and to helping fellow authors create exciting shared possibilities.

Part II – Deep Dive into Author Techniques, Styles & Methods How do you write a novel? Are you a Planner-Plotter-Outliner? Or are you a Pantser-Seat of the Pants-Go with the flow writer? Or perhaps some of both? Each of these two highly successful authors has written more than 40 books. Take a close look as they reveal secrets, share behind-the-scenes stories and join us as we laugh at our own mistakes, and what we’ve learned along the way.
