CHAPTER: Austin, Texas
LOCATION/TIME: Fleck Hall, St. Edward's University
A hands-on picture book workshop for both the non-fiction and fiction author led by the award-winning, bestselling author Chris Barton.
Workshop Synopsis: Creatively and professionally alike, authors can enjoy big benefits from letting the silly stuff cross-pollinate with the seriously researched. In “You Don’t Have to Choose,” we’ll use the examples of picture book authors who have done both fiction and nonfiction as a springboard for discussing and honing skills and techniques applicable to both types of writing. We’ll examine the benefits — and potential drawbacks — of that sort of career cross-pollination with a goal of having each student leave the workshop inspired and equipped to create books in both realms, with some newly gained practical experience under their belts.
