Sage affirmation:
“Some people know what their book is about before they make it. And some people, they make the book and then finally, they know what it is.…That’s okay. That’s my process, and to embrace the mess.”

A group selfie of six people standing outside on a city street, bundled up in winter coats, hats, and scarves. The person in the front is smiling widely, holding the camera. Behind them, the other five people are also smiling, with a parking garage entrance and a few cars in the background.
A group of people seated around a long wooden table at a restaurant, smiling and posing for the camera. The person on the far left is leaning into the frame for a cheerful selfie. The table is set with menus, glasses, and condiments.
Great to catch up with friends again at #scbwiNY25 incl @jenbetton.bsky.social @lisaanchin.bsky.social @suzannekaufmanart.bsky.social @paulozelinsky.com
