Hanna Hollis, Lindenwood University

Start Date

Description

This presentation will be a discussion about the making of my MFA thesis project and novel-in-progress, tentatively titled The Legend of the Draconian Caves. You will learn about the novel’s origins and its evolution over the course of my development as a writer, as well as my personal writing process in which the background work that goes into a novel is interwoven with the act of writing. This dynamic approach allows for the creation of lush worldbuilding, well-rounded character creation, and surprising plot development. This discussion will be followed by a reading of an excerpt from the beginning of the novel.
