From Book to Animation and Audio: Turning Your Story into Multimedia Content w/ Luz Maria Mack

Your story doesn't have to live only on the page. This workshop explores how written work — especially children's and family storytelling — can be adapted into animation and audio experiences that reach new audiences and open new doors. Writers will learn how to identify which parts of their stories translate powerfully to sound and image, how to reshape those moments into scripts, and how to navigate the creative process from page to production. We'll cover the roles involved — illustrators, animators, voice actors — and how you, as the writer, remain at the center. Accessible tools and realistic starting points will be shared for writers at every budget level. Leave with a clear understanding of the process and concrete next steps for bringing your story to life beyond the book.
