“An Insider’s Look at the Family Entertainment Market” – Kathie Fong Yoneda
Whether your project is a book, a graphic novel, a game, or a script for film or television, former Disney exec Kathie Fong Yoneda will give you an inside peek at how family projects are acquired. She will touch on such areas as:
* What is the family entertainment market?
* What kinds of projects attract a buyer?
* How can a writer get his/her work noticed?
“Symbols and the Dark Side in Family Entertainment? Yes, you need it.” – Pamela Jaye Smith
Too many stories for young people, whether on screen or on the page, lack the core requirement for a great tale – an appropriate, believable antagonist and real challenges for the protagonist. The oldest and longest-lasting stories for kids access the universal truths of life, while presenting them in memorable symbolism and engaging imagery. You can do this, too. Pamela Jaye Smith offers insights on how to use:
* The 3 levels of the Dark Side
* The 10 Aspects of Opposition and how to select the best ones for your story
* The 3 categories of Symbolism and how to coordinate your imagery

• In-person workshops with interactive writing exercises
• Discover the inside secrets of stories that last for thousands of years
• Get inspiration and unique information to enrich your art and improve your craft
The supernatural and unexplained are all the rage: magic, channeling, crop circles, remote viewing, psychic spies, aliens, angels, altered states, esp, time travel, multiple dimensions… We will explore the geography and psychology of these other realities, and you will learn ways to use them to give your stories internal integrity and unique appeal.
These lively evenings will introduce you to the principles and practices behind the magic of and in stories of any genre, so you can again and again create that magic yourself.
For your own writing partnerships, collaborations, and productions learn communication techniques that used to be closely-guarded secrets.
