Wise Words from our Ekphrasis Adventure Contributors
“Creating art is a superpower! Artists and writers have the power to create entire worlds and characters with their imagination. I think that’s pretty amazing.” -Kim Wagner Nolan
“Write about what you’re interested in, even if you don’t know much about it yet. You can learn as you go.” -Lisa Roullard
“Writing for children is very freeing, and there’s a huge pleasure in creating something silly or magical or just true that could resonate with children and lead them to think about things differently. Or just make them laugh. I think humour for its own sake is underrated in most creative fields.” -Ian Brownlie
