SPEAKER – Dec 17th 2014:  Betty Webb Award winning mystery author Betty Webb of the Lena Jones Series – “Which Comes First — the Chicken or the Egg?”

 

A successful novelist/journalist/book critic/writing teacher discusses writing as an art and a business — and which should come first. Betty will also talk about the decisions she has had to make while existing in four vastly different writing worlds, covering creativity, working habits, marketing, and the ethical conflicts that have arisen during her more than 40 years as a professional writer.
