Franny Billingsley
Franny offers a playful interactive program using physical props and metaphor games to explore characterization, story structure, the translation of idea into story, and revision. She also offers writing workshops. The writing exercises are based on the material presented in the program described above, so a day of writing workshops would begin with this program. Both the program and writing workshops are suitable for grades 4 - 6; they are each an hour long and Franny can do up to four presentations a day.
Franny is based in Chicago. Her books for young readers are:
The Folk Keeper, Atheneum/Simon & Schuster, 1999
Well Wished, Atheneum/Simon & Schuster, 1997
