I am an experienced teacher, book coach and lecturer. I have been teaching writing through UT Arlington Continuing Education (and others) since 2008. I love interactive sessions and welcome questions from attendees. My most popular lectures include: Sensory Writing and Involuntary Autobiographical Memory, Streamlining Your Writing Process, How Competing Character Agency Amps Up Your Story, and Creating the Right Villain for Your Hero.
Amber Royer writes the Chocoverse comic telenovela-style foodie-inspired space opera series, and the Bean to Bar Mysteries. She also teaches creative writing and is an author coach. Her workbook/textbook Story Like a Journalist and her Thoughtful Journal series allow her to connect with writers. Amber and her husband live in the DFW Area, where you can often find them at local coffee shops or taking landscape/architecture/wildlife photographs. They both love to travel, and Amber records her adventures on Instagram – along with pics of her pair of tuxedo cats, Addi and Sean. If you are very nice to Amber, she might make you cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes, of course! Amber blogs about creative writing technique and all things chocolate at www.amberroyer.com.
