Welcome to The Coffee Shop, on the menu today, we have an extended conversation about writing. A panel of five writers gathered around our favorite table addressed “Whats Really Wise in Conventional Writing Wisdom,” with advice gleaned from years of experience writing and marketing their work. Many of their lessons apply to new writers and multi-book authors alike.

Joining us are:

- Emily Carpenter (http://emilycarpenterauthor.com/), Amazon best-selling author of three
suspense novels: BURYING THE HONEYSUCKLE GIRLS, THE WEIGHT OF LIES
and the upcoming EVERY SINGLE SECRET, which is coming out May 1, 2018.

- Ellie Jordan (http://elliedecker.com/), writer and actress, who has developed screenplaysand appears in numerous films and TV shows, including THE WALKING DEAD.

- JD Jordan (http://www.o-jd.com/), the author of the sci-fi Western CALAMITY, which
he is now developing for television in collaboration with a production company.

- Chris Negron (https://chrisnegron.com/), whose short fiction has appeared in a dozen
online and print literary publications; his first middle grade novel is currently on
submission with publishers.

- George Weinstein (http://www.georgeweinstein.com/), who is making his second
appearance in the Coffee Shop. He’s the author of five novels that span a variety of
genres, the latest being the mystery novel AFTERMATH, which we discussed in 2017.
He also is the former president of the Atlanta Writers Club (http://atlantawritersclub.org/)
