In this fun and fast-moving event, watch live authors use the "spitballing" techniques of screenwriters to push initial story ideas into wilder and more provocative possibilities. This year, we’re adding a twist: in exploring the “Imagination & Reality” theme, our author-panelists will brainstorm ideas for Things That Are Not What They Seem. Come ready to brainstorm, laugh, and contribute your own ideas too.

This event is open to the public.
