The Telephone Game for Writers and Illustrators

In this twist on the traditional “telephone” game, participants will alternate drawing and writing to create hilarious, meandering narratives. We bring paper and pencils, you bring yourself (and gently used or new children’s books to donate to The Children’s Book Bank). Terrible drawing and writing skills not only invited, but strongly encouraged. Get ready to laugh your butt off. Program Organizers: We are a group of local writers and illustrators of children’s books. Many of us have participated as presenters at Portland Book Festival before. Our group consists of these members: Zoey Abbott (www.zoeyabbott.com) Alison Farrell (www.drawdrawdraw.com) Kate Berube (www.kateberube.com) Deborah Hocking (www.deborahhockingillustration.com) Tracy Subisak (www.tracysubisak.com) Lisa Mundorf (www.lisamundorf.carbmonmade.com) If you are able, please bring a lightly used children’s book and we will deliver all donations to the Children’s Book Bank.
