Animals are not only part of our lives, but often part of our work. We include pets as well as other critters into our writing. How do we make sure what we’re writing is realistic? Join us in welcoming Genie Joseph, certified dog trainer, animal-behavior specialist, and therapy dog handler, who will be speaking on writing about the human-animal bond. Her presentation will include therapy and service animals, and communicating with animals. Genie will be accompanied by her service dog, Sophia.
We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.
In our afternoon session, artist and author David J. Soto will present “Mining the Story.” The presentation will be an interactive story development exercise where everyone can have input just by choosing a card or two! We’ll examine what actually goes into creating a simple story with complex characters that will drive you mad with all of the possibilities you may never have thought of.
