Spoiler alert; if she can do it\, anyone can!\n \n11:00am – 11:45am\nBeyond Words: How a Non-Speaking Artist Illustrates Books – Corey & Andrea Landreth\nIn this workshop\, Corey and Andrea share the story behind how Trent (Drawings by Trent)\, a non-speaking autistic artist\, became the illustrator of three books. They will talk about Trent’s communication skills\, how he shows preferences\, makes choices\, and lets people know what is or is not working for him. They will also walk through the different processes they used to support Trent as each book was being created. Each book took a different approach\, but each process was shaped around what seemed to fit Trent best at the time and allowed his artwork to be a essential part of the finished project. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at how Trent’s books came together and be encouraged to rethink assumptions about communication\, creativity\, and what people with differences are able to contribute. \n1:00pm – 1:45pm\nThe Indie-Press Blueprint – Heidi Herman\nThis workshop guides authors with completed manuscripts through the essential steps of indie publishing\, from imprint setup to book marketing.
