The Fantasies of Publishing (with author Ben Kamphuis)

About this event

Join us for an interactive presentation about the fantasies and harsh realities of publishing a book. Author bio: Benjamin Kamphuis writes fantasy for readers who crave magic systems with meaning, creatures with heart, and characters who confront the storm within. A mental health advocate and former anxiety survivor, Benjamin crafts young adult and adult stories that celebrate community, neurodivergence, and personal power. Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and RuPaul’s Drag Race will feel right at home in his worlds. Lyrical in tone and emotionally rich, his novels are written to remind readers that their inner world matters just as much as the outer one. When he’s not writing, Benjamin draws inspiration from musicians like Mumford & Sons, Taylor Swift, and Noah Kahan, blending emotion with epicness. Visit him at https://benkamphuis.com
