Michael Perry & Benjamin Percy: Freelancing Across Genres

Join Michael Perry and Benjamin Percy for a conversation about surviving — and thriving — as freelance writers by working across genres. Perry's latest book is Improbable Mentors & Happy Tangents; his book Population 485 has been optioned as a musical; he records the weekly Voice Mail podcast; and he performs voiceover work for the Milwaukee Brewers. Percy writes literary fiction and screenplays, contributes to Marvel (Wolverine, Ghost Rider, The Punisher) and DC Comics (Green Arrow, Batman), and collaborates with Stephen King on the End Times series. This discussion serves as a preview of the literary programming at the upcoming Eaux Claires festival.
