Listener @yoongii_s on Twitter had the chance to attend Maggie’s recent writing workshop in Edinburgh, and they let us know that Maggie said she, “was working on unrelated (to The Raven Boys) graphic novels!” Maggie is also doing more workshops throughout the USA, but unfortunately many of them (if not all) sold out within hours of being announced.
