Neil Gaiman! Joe Hill!!! And Five New Writers I Love!!!

On June 15, Shane R. Toogood and I attended a panel discussion on popular fiction with Neil Gaiman, Lawrence Block, Walter Mosley, Kat Howard, Joe Hill, Kurt Andersen, and Jeffrey Ford at Columbia University.

How was it?

THE BEST NIGHT EVER!!! I sat on Ivy League benches, walked on Ivy League grass, and fell in love with Ivy League libraries.

And also listened to masters of the craft discuss writing. (Pictured below.)

Read more about it on Tainted Tea's blog. Here's a sample: To paraphrase Gaiman, fiction is about making the reader turn the page, asking the question "And then what happened?" Everything is about disappearing into a world of fiction.
