February 27 – Janet Periat: Power up Your Presentation!
SV-RWA chapter member Janet Periat will lead this fun, interactive workshop designed to help Magic Bulldozer presenters, speakers and writers add punch to their presentations and readings. Using her theatre background, Janet will teach basic performance essentials to help writers overcome their anxiety and give dynamic presentations. Bring a first page to read and Janet will show you how to knock ‘em dead with your next reading.
