What is Your BIG Idea? - Beth Barany
Many people have something to say, a big message they want to share with the world. But they don't know how to get it out of their head and onto the page. In this talk, by writing coach and novelist, Beth Barany, she'll take you through the simple, yet powerful steps to get your powerful message into a book.

Featuring the artists who created Banned & Recovered: Artists Intervention -- a collective response by 37 artists to the conspicuous success of book challenges and bannings in U.S. schools and libraries and the real threats to the U.S. Constitution posed by the 2003 U.S. Patriot Act.
Artists created new works of art inspired by titles from the long list of banned and challenged books. The result is a spectacular collection of witty, whimsical, angry, and thought-provoking statements about the ramifications of censorship and the importance of free speech. Together, the works shed new light on problematic issues and engage visitors in a lively dialog about the power of art in the face of censorship.

Who has secretly or not so secretly harbored a dream of writing a book? Raise your hand proud. Me too. Even in the age of blogging, a book is still one of the most effective ways of diving into the thoughts and imagination of those who inspire us. Books represent a significant symbol of one of our most important and overlooked missions on Earth. Our legacy. Maybe you gave up on that dream because of fears that it takes too much time, or fears that your ideas aren't good enough, or that writing a book is too large an undertaking. Beth will help you discover that none of that is true.
What you'll take away at this powerful session:
- Explore your unique legacy and the impact you'd like to have in the world
- Identify your fears or blocks in the way of writing
- Uncover the key steps to go from start to finish to get writing now!
