Topics

Visualization of Story and Character Development

Presented by Donna Marie Todd

Donna Marie Todd, Singer of Songs, loves what she does! Whether it is telling a story, singing a song, leading a workshop, or writing - her enjoyment shines through every moment.

She says, "I want you to feel at home in my stories. I fill them with vivid images of fascinating people and places, beautiful music, laughter and wrap them up tight with my deep love of people."

She is a writer as well as a storyteller and is the former publisher of LifeDesign magazine. Currently, she is editor of The Biblical Storyteller magazine for the Network of Biblical Storytellers, Intl.

Donna Marie presented for Wild Week in 2009 and is back this year due to popular demand! This is because her workshops are highly interactive, informative and loaded with fun!
