SPEAKERS 6:45: Betty Webb is the author of 10 Lena Jones mysteries
(DESERT REDEMPTION, DESERT WIVES, etc.) and 5 Gunn Zoo mysteries
(THE OTTER OF DEATH, THE PUFFIN OF DEATH, etc.).
For 20 years Betty was a journalist, interviewing everyone from U.S. presidents, astronauts who walked on the moon, and polygamy runaways. A nationally-syndicated literary critic whose reviews ran on the New York Times wire for more than 30 years, she currently reviews for Mystery Scene Magazine.
Betty is a member of the National Federation of Press Women, Mystery Writers of America, and the Authors Guild. She is also well-known as a creative writing instructor and has taught creative writing at Phoenix College and held Masters’ Classes in Creative Writing at ASU. She is currently the Writer-in-Residence at the Tempe Library.
She will talk about the necessity for a writer to be flexible in today’s ever-changing market. For instance, after having the same editor and the same publisher for 20 years, her publisher just got gobbled up by one of the giants — and Betty with them. Her writing life will be changing, but at this point, she doesn’t know how.
She might call her talk “The Uncertainty of the Writing Life.”
