THE MAKING OF PRIORITY A: FROM LIFE TO FICTION, FROM WRITING TO PUBLISHING

Author Les Holliday will discuss his debut novel, Priority A, from first inspiration to how the plot took shape. From there, the path to publishing: searching for an agent and exploring self-publishing.

Les has a B.A in literature and an M.S. in Communication Studies. He taught Radio-TV and English courses while working as an on-air DJ in the Chicago area for six years. In the Pittsburgh area, he was the English department chair at South Park High School for 28 years and operated a mobile entertainment company for 30 years. He also spent a year teaching Radio/TV courses at Shippensburg University.

After an opening presentation of the development of Priority A from initial idea to final publication, Les will open the discussion for any questions about writing, his DJ experience, or anything else. If he says, “It’s all shrouded in mystery,” ask him why that line is in the book.
