I'm teaching an Advisor Studio with @sundancecollab this May! GAMES AS A NARRATIVE MEDIUM is all about how story works in games, and how player agency, mechanics, structure, and choice come together to make memorable experiences. All writing levels and disciplines are welcome.

Can't wait to analyze the storytelling power of games and nerd out about a few recent faves with all of you. 🎮🕹🟡

⭐ I had such a fantastic time at the Glen Rock Children's Book Festival this weekend! ⭐ It was so inspiring to be around all of the amazing authors, illustrators, and author/illustrators, who brought so much warmth, generosity, and light to an otherwise very rainy day. I've made so many wonderful memories and I am so deeply grateful for the chance to meet all the kids and parents that braved the storm and dropped in. Thank you to all of the librarians who volunteered, for your tireless work to ignite that spark in little readers, and your efforts to get them to the point where their eyes light up when they find the perfect book for them. Thank you Chris, Sally, and everyone @thecuriousreader and @glenrockguild for making my first Book Fest experience a magical one! It was such an honor. Thank you for the amazing 📸 photos @illustrationlombardi and for being the best tablemate ever! I had such a blast hanging with you. 👏 taken in Glen Rock, New Jersey by @nicyulo
