Mary Thaler is the creator of the webcomic Bog-haunter, and author of a half-dozen comic zines and nearly a dozen published short stories. Her eclectic writing includes historical and speculative fiction, and often draws on her background doing scientific fieldwork. Mary would be happy to lead an interactive workshop on “Turning Your Story into a Graphic Novel Script.” Consisting of a series of hands-on activities to help move from a prose mindset to visual storytelling, the workshop encourages writers of all artistic backgrounds to vanquish self-doubt and dive into this exciting medium. Mary can answer practical questions about technique, reaching an audience, and building career. She is also able, if desired, to lead a workshop on writing short fiction, or to participate in readings or panel discussions.
