How Narrative Medium Impacts the Craft of Storytelling

📅 April 25, 2025

📍 Panethnic Pourovers

Join local authors Makana Yamamoto (HAMMAJANG LUCK) and Tara Tai (SINGLE PLAYER) in conversation with Mercy Clemente as they discuss how everything from heist movies like Ocean's 8 to choices-matter RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 influenced their novels. The novel is often held up as the most immersive form of storytelling, but what can movies, TV shows, and even stage plays do that novels can't? What about video games and TTRPGs like D&D? And what lessons can we learn from these other narrative mediums as we write ever more novels?
