We are delighted that Peter Hedges will be returning to Austin and joining us for the 2010 Conference, October 21-24! An AFF favorite, Peter wrote both the novel and screenplay adaptation for the highly acclaimed What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, as well as the adapted Oscar-nominated screenplay About A Boy, and wrote and directed Dan in Real Life and Pieces of April.
Peter has a new novel out this spring, The Heights, available from amazon.com and in book stores. If you're in Austin, be sure to attend his reading at Book People on Wednesday, March 24th!
