Tamora Pierce Reading
Tamora Pierce discusses her young adult fantasy novel, Trickster’s Queen. She takes questions from the audience, which is mostly comprised of young adults. Pierce lays down a few ground rules for questions, explaining to the audience that they are in a “rude-free zone"--she will allow questions to be asked that may be considered rude or too personal elsewhere.
Pierce goes on to give advice to young writers about how to begin writing a story, name and develop characters, and overcome writer’s block. She details the process of converting her stories into audiobooks as well as her work with Bruce Coville’s audiobook company, Full Cast Audio. Pierce also gives a very detailed outline of the titles, broad plotlines, and release dates of her upcoming books until the year 2010.
