Throughout the “City Lights with Lois Reitzes” series “Writer To Reader,” bestselling author Joshilyn Jackson has been taking listeners through the process of writing her book, “Origin Story.” With her deadline six months away, Jackson says she “can see that hazy outline of that tape across the finish line” but has stopped writing the book altogether.
Instead, her focus has shifted to the upcoming release of a book she finished writing more than a year ago, “The Opposite of Everyone.” Jackson explains that, while her publisher is taking on a lot of the promotional burden, she has to “help that machine do its job.”
In addition to her discussion about the various preparations she is taking for the book release, Jackson invites listeners to take part in the event itself, happening at the DeKalb County Public Library on Feb. 16.
