Leigh Bardugo is one of the most prolific fantasy authors of our time. And yet, the powerhouse behind Shadow and Bone, Six of Crows, and the Alex Stern trilogy, didn't get published until she was 37. After many years of false starts, Leigh found the confidence to put pen to paper and in that uncomfortable journey, facing doubts and failure, found her voice. The so-called "Goth Auntie" has enraptured fans ever since with the immersive universes she creates. And now she wants you to do the same, to face your discomfort in the name of making art. This is your master class in tapping into your inner creative.
