For writing and library conferences, Hester Bass has created presentations customized for the needs of the program attendees such as the following:
"Courage, Creativity, and Cooperation"
Discover a little-known true story from the Civil Rights movement, when the black and white citizens of one Alabama city remained committed to nonviolence. Learn what inspired Seeds of Freedom: The Peaceful Integration of Huntsville, Alabama and be inspired by the ways that racial discrimination, bullying, and unfairness can be faced successfully with perseverance and ingenuity.
"It's All About The Journey"
Learn details of Walter Anderson's life not found in The Secret World of Walter Anderson and go behind-the-scenes to learn how an author, illustrator, and publisher work together to produce an award-winning book.
"I Think I Can: A Guide to Writing for Children"
Librarians and teachers know so much about kids and stories that with the right tools, many of them could write meaningful, entertaining, and publishable books for children. Plunder an author's toolbox for tips on idea development, story structure, and much more. Attendees will be prepared to go home and start writing! (Can be tailored for librarians, teachers, or beginning children's writers.)
"Inhabit Your Characters"
Learn from theatrical character study exercises how to "be" your characters. Once a writer inhabits a character's skin, decisions regarding dialogue and action become so much easier. Think like an actor and think like your character!
"Whatever You Do, You Write"
No matter what one chooses to do in life, writing effectively is one of the keys to success. Students and professionals of all ages can benefit from the top ten things a writer needs to know to communicate ideas clearly and efficiently.
"Putting Passion on Paper"
Learn to engage a reader by putting more of your passion on the page. In this hands-on workshop, writing exercises help you dig deeper for details that will place your reader squarely in your writing. Ensnare the senses and keep your readers up at night!
