About this speaker
Janice Hardy teaches writing workshops across the country, and her blog, Fiction University, has been recognized as a Top Writing Blog by Writer’s Digest, The Write Life, and many others over the past seventeen years.
She’s written multiple books on writing, including her bestselling Understanding Show, Don't Tell (And Really Getting It), Understanding Conflict (And What It Really Means),Plotting Your Novel: Ideas and Structure, and the Revising Your Novel: First Draft to Finished Draft series.
When she’s not writing about writing, she spins tales of fantasy and adventure and does terrible things to her characters (which makes them much more interesting).
Her novels include the teen fantasy trilogy The Healing Wars (The Shifter, Blue Fire, and Darkfall) from Balzer+Bray/Harper Collins, and chapter books The Haunting of Cabin 13 and Who's Haunting Who? for Lerner Publishing. For adults, she writes the Grace Harper urban fantasy series under the name, J.T. Hardy, and is currently working on a science fiction detective series (also for adults).
She loves talking with writers and readers, and encourages questions of all types—even the weird ones. Find out more about her and her books at www.Fiction-University.com or www.JaniceHardy.com.
