Great writing moves us. It moves minds to ponder,
hands to turn pages, hearts to feel, and feet to act.
Inspiring writing can change us, and as inspiring writers
we can help change others. At this workshop, two celebrated
writers will share insights into their storytelling
success. Glean practical tips, absorb creative energy,
network with writers and editors, and be inspired in
your own writing.

of the Year Award in 2005, naming it the nation’s

essayist; his work has appeared in The
American Scholar,
The Atlantic Monthly, and Harper’s, and he has
received numerous honors including the 2008 Award in
Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
He has published five collections of essays, two nonfiction

 Brandon
Mull is the author of the New York Times,
USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling
five-volume Fablehaven series. He also wrote The
Candy Shop War and the upcoming Beyonders series,
which debuts in March 2011. Though he long wanted
to be a creative writer, his practical side led him
to study something that would yield a solid paycheck:
public relations. For a time, he worked as a movie
promoter and copywriter, but now, with a handful
of bestsellers under his belt, Mull is living his
dream, creating adventures in imaginary worlds.
