Writing as a Career

PRESENTER: VIN DACQUINO

Are you looking to become a writer? What does that mean? Are all writers novelists? What do writers do? Can they actually make a living as writers. How do writers prepare for success?

Vin Dacquino will once again address high school students at the annual Young Adult Authors’ Conference to be held on May 18th, 2021. Dacquino has presented at the conference for over 30 years. Due to the Corona Virus, the event this year will be virtual.
