Mark Bowden & Mike Sielski: A Conversation Between Writers In-Person
Join us for a conversation between writers - a new series at the Kennett Library hosted by Mark Bowden. Mark will pose about 8-10 discussion topics to discuss the writing and editing process with author Mike Sielski, focusing on what sports reporting is like today, compared to what it was thirty-plus years ago when Mark covered the Eagles. Much has changed — players have social media accounts, podcasts, and the amount of information about games, teams and players far eclipses anything from Mark's day. But some things have not.
Registration and ticket info coming soon!
