Lit at Lark: Novelists M.J. Rose, Randy Susan Meyers, and Nancy Bilyeau Discuss The Art of the Bestseller!

April's Lit at Lark features a terrific trio of bestselling novelists. These writers will be discussing how they craft their wildly popular narratives, the ins and outs of book publicity, and will be available to answer questions from the audience! As always, the event is free, LARK will offer a Happy Hour drink special just for us, and WORD will be selling books written by and recommended by our authors.
