On November 29, 2020, we hosted a panel of nonfiction writers to talk about the nuances of writing and publishing nonfiction.

It was fun talking with Beth Beamish about her book on Dyslexia and some of the things that she learnt while publishing that book.

Sean Welsh and his real world story of AI terminators (the stoat killer) had me a little in awe... and freaked out.

And our own Judy L Mohr has a diverse nonfiction background, from her blogging through to her book on building platforms, and her contribution to Putting the Science in Fiction.

You can find out more about their various projects on their websites.

In the meantime, enjoy our interview with Beth, Sean, and Judy.

On November 21, 2020, Robinne Weiss joined Judy L Mohr to talk writing children's fiction and what makes it different to other age categories. It was interesting to learn that Young Adult is still classified as children's fiction.
