Bridge Conference 2018

Discover how personal storytelling techniques and the ease of today’s indie publishing platforms can empower teens and ensure their voices are heard. In this interactive session, NYT bestselling author Ingrid Ricks shares how she found healing and empowerment by writing her coming-of-age story and used it to help more than a thousand teens in both Utah and Washington find their voice by writing — and in some cases publishing — the deeply personal stories they needed to share. From there, she drills down on the process she employs to help youth identify their stories and bring them to life. She will also discuss the different eBook and print publishing options now available and share how they can be used to quickly get teen voices out to the world. All workshop attendees will receive a copy of Ingrid’s narrative writing guide.
