I (Laura) will be speaking on Using Criticism (Without Taking It Personally):

Criticism and rejection are an inescapable and invaluable part of developing craft and publishing–but they can be so hard to hear! And how do we know which criticism is valid and which is just one person’s opinion? Let’s talk about how to evaluate criticism and use rejection to improve our writing AND our confidence, and how to filter what is useful and rise above the rest.

Laura VanArendonk Baugh writes fantasy of many flavors as well as non-fiction. She has summited extinct, dormant, and active volcanoes, but none has yet accepted her sacrifice. She lives in Indiana where she enjoys Dobermans, travel, fair-trade chocolate, and making her imaginary friends fight one another for her own amusement.
