Howard Days 2018: From Fan to Pro
By Ben Friberg

Professional authors explain how Howard has been an inspiration in pursuing their own writing careers. On the panel - Scott Cupp, James Reasoner, Dave Hardy, Jason Carney and Mark Finn. Unfortunately, there's a slight technical glitch where I had to change HD cards in the middle of Mr. Reasoner's introduction so I missed a few seconds of that.
