Please Welcome Debut Novelist Harrison Demchick

by Harrison Demchick

We are delighted to welcome debut novelist Harrison Demchick as our guest.

Harrison's new book, The Listeners (Bancroft Press, December 2012 hardcover and ebook formats), was born in an independent study in fiction during Harrison's senior semester at Oberlin College. Originally a series of interconnected short stories, it was adapted first into a screenplay, and then, from the screenplay, into his first novel.

Today Harrison tells us about how much to reveal in a book … and when.
