What a blast we had last week at the Storytelling 101 Workshop!  A BIG THANK YOU to Nancy Steedle and also to our keynote speaker, Tom Roberts!  Both were informative and entertaining.  We all learned some things we can use in our own writing and had a great time in the process.

If you missed it – be sure to watch for the next one and pre-register for a discount in exchange for letting us know how much interest in the topics there will be ahead of time.

Also keep your eye open for the soon-coming 1st issue of the Savvy Scribbler – the South Dakota Authors Association Newsletter – launching soon.

He has worked with tens of thousands of students of all ages throughout his career and continues to be a much requested speaker throughout the state.
