Event Description
Start your 2025 with a unique opportunity to interact with the mastermind behind the Realm YA fantasy novels and the Kingdom Journals series. Join us for an enlightening interview with award-winning author Tricia Copeland, the first Westside Satellite program of the year by the Writers & Publishers Network.
Tricia’s Realm series follows the courageous and capable fifteen-year-old Queen Titania, the first female ruler of the Fae realm, as themes of magic, leadership, and adventure are sewn into one. Before Realm, Tricia entertained readers with The Kingdom Journals series—five delightful combinations of vampire politics, high school drama, and paranormal mysteries.
In this interactive session—moderated by Robin Quinn—take a guided tour into the creative force that is Tricia. From her inventive world-building to her writing journey, the discussion is sure to be rich with takeaways:
- How a character like Queen Titania is brought to life.
- The inspiration for the magical beings in her stories, from fae to vampire-witch hybrids.
- How she researches magical elements to create plausible worlds.
- Marketing strategies for fantasy fiction.
- How her podcast, Finding the Magic, supports her writing life.
This is not a passive experience—participants will have the opportunity to share their creations inspired by a writing prompt during the session. Plus, a live reading from the Realm series, a Q&A session, and time to respond to the interactive writing prompt inspired by a visual image. This session will be a truly immersive experience.
