As some fans may know Amber recently narrated the audiobook version of Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow. Cory completed a Kickstarter campaign where he was offering fans the chance to get their hands on the Attack Surface audiobook.
While the Kickstarter campaign was ongoing Cory organised a series of lectures discussing some of the central themes within the book and other issues with a variety of guests. As part of this on October 14 the Massachusetts bookstore Brookline Booksmith hosted a special online event where Cory was joined by Amber Benson and screenwriter John Rogers.
They not only discuss Attack Surface but also the differences between writing for the screen and writing prose for a novel. Cory, John and Amber talk about their individual approaches to writing. Amber is an actor and shared her experience of performing words written by others. She is also a novelist and recently has worked on a number of projects for television so is uniquely placed to offer an insight into all of these.
I attended the live online event it was a fascinating discussion that I really enjoyed. The good news for fans who couldn't be there on the day is event hosts Brookline Booksmith have recently made the discussion available to watch on their official YouTube channel. I have embedded the video below:

This update took a little bit longer to get online than I would have liked but I'm so glad I was able to post the video. I re-watched it again this afternoon and enjoyed it all over again. I highly recommend it.
