For early-career writers, the focus is almost entirely on getting that first book published: finishing the book, finding an agent, selling it, working with editors, doing book events. But what happens after you get everything you want? You'll write a second book, a third, and so on. What will that work look like? How will your career begin to develop? What can new authors be thinking about now so that they're set up for a long, fruitful career? When your career hits a rough patch, how can you respond? This panel features Gabino Iglesias, Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Don Tate, all of them talking about what authors need to know to keep doing what they love (and getting paid for it) over the long run.
