“Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?”

- David Baldacci, The Camel Club

I invite you to be inspired and entertained by the Peace One Day documentary, about one man's struggle to talk world leaders and the U.N. into adopting an annual day of peace and ceasefire. 

Contributors to Now Write! Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror will discuss craft in a way that goes beyond the usual writers’ panel. 

Our panelists will speak candidly about their own writing and share their favorite tools.  Be inspired by Kim Dower’s encouragement to capture material from you dreams, learn Michelle Newman’s secrets on how to effectively ground fantasy in reality and have fun with Derek Taylor Kent’s approach to character development. 

We will do Derek's exercise during the event, so bring a notebook; pens will be provided.  

Here is a round-up of some Now Write! contributors brand new books this year – some not even out till a little later this month. Including new books by two of the speakers on the Now Write! panel.

Now Write! editor Laurie Lamson's new short story Kindle book "The Quest For Peace" can be found at the bottom of the post - explore now:
