Virtual Author Event: A Conversation with Jordyn Taylor
Synthesis Publications is excited to announce that we are hosting our first webinar: a virtual author event! This is an amazing opportunity to join staff member Athena Wu in a conversation with Jordyn Taylor, as we discuss her debut YA historical fiction novel, her inspiration, her writing process, and her path to becoming a journalist & author. Her beautifully-written book intertwines the stories of two girls from two different time periods: modern-day and World War II. A mix of historical tragedy, family secrets, love, and mystery, The Paper Girl of Paris is truly a captivating read, and we encourage you to check it out before coming to the webinar. This will also be a chance for any aspiring writers or avid readers to ask Jordyn, who is also a deputy editor at Men’s Health magazine, any questions! Please register if you are interested in coming on Sunday, November 1st, at 5pm EST. Hope to see you there!
