For a fun-filled Friday the 13th, follow in Dr. Frankenstein’s footsteps and form a frightening and formidable fiend to further your fiction!
This course blends teacher presentation (a slideshow that incorporates textual exemplars, music, and video) with in-class activities, brain-breaks and -teasers, and ample individual feedback. As free wi-fi is available, students are encouraged, though not required, to bring a device (tablet or laptop) to facilitate their creative writing.

Her children’s plays have appeared at the Calgary Fringe Festival and around the world. Her YA novels, Schizo, Hook Up, Touch, Stupid, and Creep Con are published by Lorimer SideStreets (available from any major bookseller) and her self published novel, Boiled Cat, is available at the interactive website - www.boiledcat.com .

Sebastien Ringuette
Sebastien, a Calgary-grown professional cartoonist, author and mentor of young creative minds. He is the artist, writer and creator of three web comic series and has self published novels and collections of his comic work which began in the web cartooning heyday of 2007. He makes annual appearances at the Calgary and Edmonton comic and entertainment expos and is always looking to improve the laughs, and lives, of strangers though the magic of a good read. Sebastien teaches at the incomparable youth writing camp Wordsworth during the summer and is clearly too impatient to let that be his only outlet for working with talented up-and-coming creators as he founded and directs RIO's sister club, Pen and Panel Cartooning Club. See his website here.

John Williamson
John has been into creative writing for most of his life but has been trying to discipline himself to be a little bit less of a slacker with the pursuit since he turned forty a while ago and started panicking at the how much sand, ie. wasted time potentially spent on writing, was already on the bottom half of the hour glass. He recently completed his PhD dissertation in education by writing a critique of educational labeling in the form of a hard-boiled detective novel, and the work is being published as a serialized novel in the Journal of Applied Hermeneutics. John also enjoys slam poetry and, in addition to being an assistant coach and instructor for the RIO slam group, was a co-coach of the provincial winning St. Anne Academic centre team in 2015 and a frequent competitor in poetry slams around the city. He has won the Ink Spot Collective monthly poetry slams twice, once in 2015 and once in 2016 which considering, there are 12 months in a year, is a great example of how good things can happen if you just keep showing up. John is in awe of the skill and poise of both the RIO students and his fellow instructors, and lacking the ability to go back in time and go harder are writing sooner in life, is just grateful to be a part of this group.

Brett Morrison
Brett is a Calgary-born writer and RIO's resident metalhead. He currently co-hosts RIO's monthly Dungeons and Dragons night, as well as occasionally teaching historical fiction writing classes. Brett has spent the better part of the past decade honing his craft, both in history and in writing, and offers a whole host of bizarre and odd historical trivia (no thanks to his tenure at the University of Calgary). Outside of RIO, one can expect to find this somewhat entertaining individual in a lecture hall or in a mosh pit.

Adam Hildebrandt
Adam is a retired sky pirate and current co-host of RIO’s monthly Dungeons & Dragons club. His greatest achievement is being able to call himself a “professional” Dungeon Master. When he’s not leading people on fantastic adventures, he can be found reading books not covered in his university courses, and writing things that won’t be covered there either. He fosters a love of all things horror, steampunk, fantasy, and generally weird.

Want to read a book illustrated by our Pen & Panel instructor - Sebastien Ringuette?
DESIGNING YOU
Designing YOU is written for a specific time in your life. High school is probably behind you. Suddenly, you need to make some weighty, often intimidating, decisions for yourself.
"What will I do when I graduate?"
"Am I on the right path?"
"How will I know if I'm making the right choices?"
"What type of career will inspire me?"
"What major should I declare?"
"Is there more to life than grades...?"
Designing YOU is about designing a road map that helps you address the relentless questions that you’re probably facing right now.
