CONNIE JOHNSON HAMBLEY
Presenting: Legal Constructs of a Great Mystery

Writing a legal thriller or creating a tight mystery have more in common than you think. Attorney and author Connie Johnson Hambley will talk about constructing a great thriller using a legal mindset where the discerning reader is treated like carnivorous opposing counsel—each word counts, and pacing matters. Oh, and are you going to write a legal thriller? Connie will give tips and insights to make sure you get your law right and sharpen the suspense through the use of facts and precedent. Don’t worry about not going to law school; short cuts and resources will be provided to guarantee you’re writing the best stories possible.

Presenting: Everything You Wanted to Know about Comic Writing But Were Afraid to Ask

J Moulton and Natasha from Vermont Comic Con will lead the discussion on the process of writing comic books. They will discuss how they have found the pros and cons, spanning the entire process from idea to completed project, followed by a question-and-answer session.
