Screenwriter Chris Dowling delivered an excellent keynote and reminded attendees that “if you get frustrated with writing, you can work and take a break with it—you don’t have to kill it!” #SLF2025

Julie Liddell Whitehead started her breakout session titled “First, Know Thy Characters” with a Stephen King quote: “I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.” #SLF2025

Jude Keef, a graduate student from UT Chattanooga led a fun breakout session about Narrative Design in Video Games. Rather than spending the time lecturing, they gave their group a prompt and was very helpful and interactive with everyone and their own ideas.
