I'm so excited for this conversation with K.A.M. and @pagescreentaylor on Sunday! Thank you @vibookfest for welcoming me to the festivities. Be sure to check out the full lineup and watch along! @authorkarmenlee and @celeste_harte are taking part as well and I can't wait to hear what they have to say 💕
