More about these performers
Patrick Rothfuss
Hello there, my name is Patrick Rothfuss, I'm a fantasy author from central Wisconsin. My first book, The Name of the Wind, made it onto the New York Times Best Seller list, and is being translated into 26 languages. Over the years, I've done readings, conference panels, facilitated group discussion, and run writing workshops. Once, I was even keynote at a high-school commencement. If you'd like to have me come out for a reading, signing, workshop or whatever in your town. Go head and start up a demand. If you get a few people to join up, there's a good chance I can sweet-talk my PR people into getting me out to wherever you are. ...
