About the participants:
Bonnie Solomon has a passion for crafting humorous, uplifting stories in magical settings. A Midwest native and seasoned Hollywood professional, she brings over two decades of experience in feature film development with industry giants like Walden Media and DreamWorks Animation. Her passion for storytelling has driven her work as a creative consultant, where she's written film and TV treatments, edited novels, and coached writers from outlines through final drafts. As a queer writer, she is committed to authentic and aspirational LGBTQ representation. When she's not writing, you can find her cuddling the cat, shaking it loose on the dance floor, or finding the best latte in LA.
Michael Conboy is a writer of fiction and memoir. His work has been included in the quarterly Three Fold, the Supergay Detroit blog, the literary journal Southland Alibi, and the Detroit queer history zine Chromatic Aberrations. In 2020, his short story "Happy Hour" placed second for the James Kirkwood Literary Prize. He recently completed his first novel, HOMO DIPSO MANIA.
About the book:
The Midnight Croissant is a contemporary cozy fantasy set in Paris, following sassy spirit guide Pearly Gates as she corrals her stagnant charges into a group tour of Paris while contending with the unexpected arrival of her ex-soulmate as their new tour guide.
The Good Place meets Amelie--with glitter.
