DESCRIPTION:Click here to make a donation. \nAmy Wallen is the author of bestselling novel MoonPies & Moviestars and the memoir When We Were Ghouls: A Memoir of Ghost Stories. She is currently working with editors in New York on a book proposal titled How to Write a Novel in Twenty Pies: Sweet & Savory Secrets of Writing. In this book\, a hybrid of how-to\, memoir\, and anecdotal sweet and savory recipes\, Amy helps writers understand the importance of perseverance to get a book-length work completed\, submitted\, and published. Through tales of her own experience of surviving the writing her first novel by baking pies\, she shares how you can avoid getting discouraged by how long it takes to write a book\, to find an agent\, or while waiting for editors to respond. She gives tips on how to use your creative process to rally your own encouragement\, what the inside of publishing looks like\, and finally how to celebrate your published book with pie! Whatever your side art\, Amy encourages using this to help you persevere to the very end and find success in your writing career. How to Write a Novel in Twenty Pies is the illegitimate child of Nora Ephron’s Heartburn and Annie Lamott’s Bird by Bird. Like all good things in life\, pie will be served at this event. First come\, first served. \n \nAmy Wallen is the associate director at New York State Summer Writers’ Institute\, and the author of When We Were Ghouls\, A Memoir of Ghost Stories\, as well as the bestselling novel\, MoonPies and Movie Stars.

Her essays have been published in The Gettysburg Review\, The Normal School\, Country Living\, The Writers’ Chronicle and other national magazines. Her essay “Easy as Pie\, That’s a Lie” is anthologized in The Shell Game\, Writers Play with Borrowed Forms edited by Kim Adrian (April 2018). Most of the time she lives in San Diego\, California with her husband and the cutest dog on earth named Hazel.
