Please join us in welcoming local author DARIA SNADOWSKY. Daria found an agent after 100 rejections, and was originally rejected by a dozen publishers. She revised her Young Adult book, which then sold, but after selling, she spent eight months engaged in more revisions. And all of these revisions were done while she was a full-time law student! Her devotion to craft paid off, however, as her first novel, ANATOMY OF A BOYFRIEND, was released to rave reviews by Delacorte press in 2007. Daria will share her experiences and tips for staying motivated and pursuing your writing in the face of setbacks.

    •  Daria's process of publishing her novel was very informative as was Jay's insight as to what a writer should do once you have a contract in hand. 
    •  Good speaker and a pleasant venue. Very productive evening receiving information and networking. 
    •  I thought Daria was absolutely charming, and I enjoyed her talk immensely. 
    •  The speaker Daria was so charming and open, that I felt as if I almost knew her. 
    •  Excellent speaker! 
    • Vic Cravello (+1 guest)
       Daria, our speaker for the event, was delightful in sharing her journey to become a writer and get published. An inspiration to us all.
