"Teresa Ho Robeson’s session on Writing a Graphic Novel for the First Time is thorough and packed with

great resources. Teresa teaches with high energy and contagious enthusiasm. After taking Teresa’s session,

I had all the information I needed to move from talking about writing a graphic novel “someday”

to completing my first GN manuscript within the next few months."

- Jamie Bills, kid lit author

"Theresa [sic] Robeson did a great job sharing her graphic novel experience too [...] so many great visuals and resources -- I appreciated that!"
