We love the discovery of new voices on F&amp;F, so this week we are thrilled to bring you two first-time authors\u2014Laura Dickerman whose Hot Desk will hit stores on September 2nd, and Morgan Pager whose The Art of Vanishing came out on July 1st. With an MA in English from Middlebury College\u2019s Bread Loaf School, Laura Dickerman has taught high school English at the Hopkins School, the Collegiate School, and Germantown Friends. She joins us from her home in Atlanta to discuss her rollicking, sparkling, and funny novel that spans decades and generations of a family in the publishing industry. A fresh take on the workplace rom-com, Hot Desk is described as Younger meets Writers &amp; Lovers. Morgan Pager is a publishing professional and the content creator behind NYC Book Girl. A graduate of Duke University, Pager joins us from her home on the Upper West Side to discuss her \u201cwildly inventive\u201d (Jodi Picoult) debut The Art of Vanishing. This stunningly original love story between a museum employee and the man in a masterpiece hanging on the walls is a breathtaking debut about time, art, and the enduring power of love. We are excited to introduce you to both of these first-time novelists!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Make sure to join us every Wednesday night at 7pm EST on Facebook and YouTube for our latest episode!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"l: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/FriendsFiction?sub_confirmation=1\">SUBSCRIBE<\/a> to our Youtube Channel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/FriendsandFiction\">JOIN<\/a> our Facebook Group<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/category\/friends-fiction-episodes\/\">VIEW<\/a> more of our previous episodes<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;
