About Susan Johnston Taylor

It’s time to gather, learn, network, laugh, and add artistry of craft enhancements. Come for the thought-provoking message in Jacqui Davison’s UNLESS… keynote. We know layers add to the quality of our art. So, come on in for added inspiration and motivation and encouragement in Susan Johnston Taylor's keynote, "Crafting A Creative Life." 

Picture book writers, add to your craft with The Art of the Art Notes with PB author, Katie Venit. Writers of all kinds, take your manuscript to the next level with writer Shannon Schuren. Novelists, add to your emotional arcs with Ann Angel. Laugh right out loud and get wild with creativity with Silvia Acevedo. Now, that's a day of artistry. A small - but mighty artful- conference. Susan Johnston Taylor will wrap up the day.
