Author Talk: From Manga to Novel – Writing a Scene

Join us LIVE on Facebook, @galluplibrary on Saturday, May 15th at 2:00 p.m. for a talk featuring Giao Chi, author of The Girl Who Kept Winter.

Writing a scene takes a great deal of thoughtful planning and hard work. Whether it is for a novel or a comic, a scene has many details that need to be formulated before it is presented.

Connect with Giao Chi as she discusses this process with her audience. Originally from Vietnam, Giao Chi has published more than 300 comics. At the age of 13, she won a professional comic scriptwriting award.
