Scoring at UntitledTown

Okay, that title is a stretch. I did not score in any way related to football, but I did indeed score a great time at a revived book festival in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the aforementioned TitleTown of renown.

The UntitledTown literary festival was long missed, stalled by the pandemic six years ago. But it came back. And I was honored to be invited to speak. I gave four talks: bringing humor into your story, creating sticky/memorable characters/plots, writing for young audiences, and plotting. In that photo you see me talking and doing something weird with my arm, probably waving an imaginary wand or something. I dunno.

Anyway, it was fun! I met new authors. I learned stuff. I was creatively inspired. I highly recommend this and other literary festivals, whether you’re an author yourself or not, for the pure joy of meeting fellow lit lovers. Hope to see you at one in the near future.
