What Happens When Writers Don’t Tell the Truth?
The UC Davis Extension is hosting a free discussion on Publishing Ethics entitled “Getting Caught: What Happens When Writers Don’t Tell the Truth?”. The event will be held at the UC Davis extension campus in dowtown Sacramento, Sutter Square Galleria, 2901 K Street, Room 200 A/B.
A panel of authors and literary professionals will discuss publishing ethics using two current, high profile examples of unethical behavior as a framework for the conversation. Jennifer Basye Sander, a non-fiction writing instructor at UC Davis Extension will serve as moderator.
Panelists include:
Andrea Hurst, the literary agent for Herman Rosenblat whose book, “Angel at the Fence,” was cancelled when he revealed that he’d made up the central part of his story. See the Sacramento Bee story at http://www.sacbee.com/livinghere/story/1515983.html for details.
Candy Chand, a writer who caught a bestselling author plagiarizing one of her stories and claiming that it was a true incident that had happened to him. See the New York Times story at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/09/books/07book.html?hp for details.
Seating is limited for this free event, so please arrive early.
