In April 2015 Kathy taught a major morning track on “Writing Fantasy and Speculative Fiction” at the long-running Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference. Her topics included The All-Important First Page of a Speculative Novel, Worldbuilding for the Subgenres, and Viewpoint: Alien and Human. She has been asked to teach a small-group mentoring track at next year’s conference! MHCSW is a 5-day event held each Palm Sunday weekend at the Mount Hermon Conference Center, amid the California redwoods near Santa Cruz.
