Reporters and the Pen: Arizona Journalists Who Became Authors, May 25

We’re pleased to join The Arizona chapter of PEN America to co-host a panel of Arizona-based journalists who became authors. Please RSVP here.

Join us to learn how these local journalists moved to long-form writing, shifted their creative processes, and took the path to publication in a lively and insightful panel discussion, 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 25, at the Poisoned Pen Bookstore, 4014 N. Goldwater Blvd., Suite 101, Scottsdale. The panelists will discuss the difference between the two writing forms and read excerpts from their books. How were they inspired to write their books, and how did their processes draw upon, or differ, from standard journalism techniques? Event entry is free, but RSVP is required.

Expected panelists include (left to right in photo above):

Jeremy Duda, reporter, Axios Phoenix, author of If This Be Treason

Christina Estes, KJZZ-FM reporter, author of Off the Air

Terry Greene Sterling, long-time PHOENIX New Times reporter, co-author of Driving While Brown
