May 6, "What Kind of Book Should I Write?"
with Porochista Khakpour, author of two novels, a memoir, and the forthcoming essay collection, BROWN ALBUM

This is for writers in the early stages of planning a book, or ones pondering which type of work to focus on. Should you do an essay collection or a memoir or should I finish that novel? We'll talk about the practical and spiritual differences between trying to write and sell different types of books.
