Well, okay, a talk in an historic place.
Thank you, Pequot Library of Southport, Connecticut, for the privilege of hosting my presentation on “Creating Compelling Characters.” Inscribed in the National Register of Historic Places, The Pequot Library is a breathtakingly beautiful edifice in a lovely bucolic town on Connecticut’s “Gold Coast.”
The all-wood, vaulted exhibition hall was packed, and enthusiastic writers and others interested In the power of storytelling kept me for 90 minutes afterward answering questions about everything from what software to use, to the business of writing, to my favorite (and least favorite) stories about “Shrek,” “Living Single” and the major (and minor) studios.
I had a grand time.
If you’d like me to present at your venue, contact me from the website and let me know what you need and when you need it. Passing on the power of storytelling to others is my joy in life.
Meanwhile, visit the Pequot Library in person, or online at www.pequotlibrary.org. In addition to being a charming experience, the Library houses an important collection of vintage documents, including a letter by Christopher Columbus written in 1493, and the signatures of all signers of the Declaration of Independence.
