A practical look at what life as a professional author is like, what people think vs. reality, what sort of money you’re really looking at, and what college path might help you.

This interactive program is presented by Writer in Residence Aprilynne Pike. Critically acclaimed and a #1 New York Times best-selling author, Aprilynne Pike has been spinning tales since she was a child with a hyper-active imagination. At 20 she received her Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. She is the author of the best-selling Wings series and the recently-released and well-reviewed Glitter. Aprilynne lives in Arizona with her husband and four kids.
