  Storytelling...From the Writer's Point of View
  <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=896>

"Storytelling...From the Writer's Point of View," is a hands-on, 
practical workshop that unlocks the secret of stories and takes the 
mystery out of storytelling. Dandi will reveal the skeleton found in 
every great story and demonstrate fun and easy methods for storytellers 
to put the bones and flesh on the story skeletons. We'll explore voice, 
details, tone, character, climax. The workshop will include family 
storytelling, hands-on exercises, storytelling practice, insights into 
capturing those story moments, and tips on bringing the "telling" to 
life. Come and gain confidence that you can always tell a good story, 
start to finish.

*Dandi Mackall* won her first writing contest as a 10-year-old tomboy. 
Her 50 words on "Why I Want to Be Batboy for the Kansas City A's" won 
first place, but the team wouldn't let a girl be batboy. It was her 
first taste of rejection.

Since then, Dandi Daley Mackall has become an award-winning author of 
about 400 books for children and grown-ups, with sales of 4 million in 
22 countries. Dandi has written articles for Today's Woman, Western 
Horseman, Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul, Family Circle, Parenting, 
Worldwide Challenge, Guidepost, Power for Living, and more. She's held a 
humorist column and served as freelance editor. She's a frequent guest 
on radio talk shows, has hosted over 200 radio phone-in programs, and 
made dozens of appearances on TV, including ABC, NBC, and CBS.
