Thirty-four years later, the book is a publishing phenomenon. What happened in between? How did Edwards keep the faith and keep working on his novel? Where did the idea of a rock musician-turned-time traveler come from and how did it change over 34 years, several rejections, and many rewrites? In this special workshop, Selden will discuss his experiences in writing and researching his novel, which is set in both San Francisco (1988) and Vienna (1897), and what went into all those years of writing and rewriting, crafting and recrafting. This is sure to be an informative and inspiring workshop for all writers who may sometimes wonder if it's worth "sticking with it".
