Missouri's Own

MISSOURI’S OWN:

St. Louis loves local, and so do we! Featuring six local authors, including YA novelist Jamie Krakover and photographer David Henschel, Missouri’s Own showcases fantastic writers from the Show-Me state. Hear them talk about their craft in a panel discussion, and then break out for a tabling session where you can meet the authors and buy the books directly.
