From Page to Performance: Breaking the Silence Around Domestic Violence through Audiobooks
Author Kelley Armstrong, audiobook narrator Stephanie Cozart & audiobook producer Andy Paris will be discussing how audiobooks can enhance the power of speculative fiction and storytelling to break the silence around violence against women and girls.
Kelley, Stephanie, and Andy will be attending the panel session at 8.30pm ET, on October 1st, 2022 (Saturday)
Kelley Armstrong
KELLEY ARMSTRONG believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is, however, an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
