February's Brain Pick: Chat with Video Game Writers & Authors Mary Kenney and Brittney M. Morris
It’s that time!
Last month’s virtual brain pick felt like a real success, and I’m happy to keep doing them like this. If you attended, thank you! If you didn’t, maybe come to this one? It’s fun, I promise.
YA readers will recognize Brittney as the author of Slay and The Cost of Knowing. I’ve been lucky enough to get to know her over the years, as the two of us both write very nerdy books and have done some events together. Recently, she was brought on to work on Spider-Man 2 at Insomniac Games!
And speaking of Insomniac Games, Mary Kenney is a YA author, comics writer, and games writer at Insomniac! I’m lucky enough to represent her in my agent life, and her debut, Gamer Girls, publishes later this year with Running Press.
So, how DO these brain pick chats work?
Well, for the first half hour, we have a conversation. This one will be about writing and games, clearly. Me, Brittney, and Mary will chat about what they do, how it all works, a bit about their wonderful books, all that good stuff.
And then afterwards, we’ll have a solid 90 minutes of Q&A brain pick time. Sometimes it’s a little more, sometimes it’s a little less, depending on how many questions we get. And that’s on whatever you’re curious about. Are you logging on to ask questions about querying or publishing? Working with editors or agents? Or maybe you want to know strictly about gaming! Ask about how to get into writing for them, how the process is different from books, how they got their start? How YOU can get your start.
Well, now’s the time to get those questions answered.
As always, this is a completely free event. We’ll have a tip jar available. Last month we donated to Blue Stoop, and this month we’ll be donating towards Melody L. Simpson’s Melanin in YA.
