  • VCU Libraries [online] Richmond, VA USA (map)

Award-winning author and journalist Robin Farmer will discuss the writing process that led to her 2020 young adult novel,  “Malcolm and Me,” which explores themes of faith, racism and coming of age in the 1970s that are partly autobiographical. During this presentation, she will outline steps for writers of all ages to take real-life incidents and turn them into essays, books and even movie or television scripts!

Robin Farmer’s debut novel, “Malcolm and Me”, was a 2019 winner of the She Writes Press and SparkPress Toward Equality in Publishing (STEP) Contest. Originally from Philadelphia, Farmer now lives in Richmond, Virginia.
