MICHELLE COX – OVERALL GRAND PRIZE AUTHOR
Near and dear to our hearts is Michelle Cox, the author of the multiple award-winning Henrietta and Inspector Howard series as well as “Novel Notes of Local Lore,” a weekly blog dedicated to Chicago’s forgotten residents. She suspects she may have once lived in the 1930s and, having yet to discover a handy time machine lying around, has resorted to writing about the era as a way of getting herself back there.
Her work has received multiple Mystery & Mayhem and Clue Awards from Chanticleer as well as the Overall Grand Prize Award for Best Book for her book A Spying Eye, in addition to several top-rated reviews and other accolades, so she might be on to something. Unbeknownst to most, Michelle hoards board games she doesn’t have time to play and is, not surprisingly, addicted to period dramas and big band music. Also marmalade.

Rooted in the practice of mise-en-scene, learn how meaning is conveyed through elements such as camera angle, set design, motif (shapes), lighting, actors, sound, all of which work together in support of the narrative.
How to Read a Film and Writing Tips & Tools with the Screen in Mind – by Lisa G. Spicer
Writing for the screen or with the screen in mind, whether narrative or non-fiction (documentary) film.
Ex: From any story, what is selected to be scripted and filmed? How is it framed (what do we see)?
Ex: Screenplays are written in present tense
As related to writing, film borrows from theater by using elements of mis en scene and motif.
Ex: How do theater directors use props and costume to support the narrative?
Writing for film or with film in mind can be informed by the craft and how films are actually made.
Ex: Basic camera terminology, used throughout entire process: writing, filming, editing.
