ARCHIVE: Writing Multiple POVs LIVE Discussion & Q & A
Featuring: A character's voice can make or break a novel. When done right it can even carry a weak plot and destroy hearts. Finding your main character can be a difficult task, but what happens when more than one POV drives your story?

Authors Jenny Torres Sanchez (We Are Not From Here), Mia García (The Resolutions), and moderator Alexandra Villasante (The Grief Keeper) take you through how they created their multiple POV books, how they found their character's voices, and how they made them unique.

ARCHIVE: Finding Home with Mia Garcia & Carmen Rodrigues
Is home more than a physical place? Is it the relationships that are forged along the way? 
In this webinar, YA authors Mia García (The Resolutions) and Carmen Rodrigues (The Universal Laws of Marco) sit down to talk about "home" in their novels. From found families to friendship journeys to transitions into adulthood, what bonds characters together to make them stronger than anything an author can throw their way?
We'll also explore the writer's journey towards home: How is "home" found within the publishing industry? And, more importantly, within yourself?
