Anyone who has endeavored to make a living as an author knows full well that this does not mean giving up the day job. Those day jobs include just about anything you could imagine, but how does one balance the two careers? Our presenters have and have held positions as journalists, editors, a screenwriter and a professor, and are well-equipped to offer insight into how their working lives influence and impact their creative lives, specifically their featured works.
