Local Workshops

Many of you may know that in addition to creative nonfiction, I write comic books. I began writing the Lung Girl comic book series in 2016. If you don’t know about it yet, find out on my Writing page. It’s about a 12-year-old Indian superhero who kicks butt and saves the world from lung health issues. These comics are educational and they raise funds for The Sid Foundation, a nonprofit I founded back in 2015 that raises funds and awareness for lung transplant research.

I don’t just write comic books, however, I also teach comic book writing. My partner Carlos “Loso” Perez, MFA, owner/founder of Prime Vice Studios, and I are known as the comic book teaching duo in the Metro-Atlanta area. If you are familiar with this area, we teach workshops on the Atlanta Beltline, The Wren’s Nest, The Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center, and many other locations. We teach any age from middle school kids to college students and older (14+).

We recently received a grant from The Pollination Project to teach free workshops in our community as well. So, if you live in the Metro-Atlanta area, our next workshop could be in your neighborhood!

Here's a list of some upcoming workshops/events:The Wren’s Nest- June 25th and July 23 (workshops)
West Cobb Library- July 14th (workshop)
MiniCon - July 21st (this workshop is part of MiniCon- a free one day comic con hosted by the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center including artists, vendors, workshops, panels, cosplay, food trucks, and King of Pops!)
ASIFA South Mixer- July 25th (guest appearance)
Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center - July 28th (workshop)
The Atlanta Beltline - The week of August 6th (3 day workshop)

The workshops include an exclusive copy of the Prime Vice Studios “Fresh Voices Comic Creation” Workbook that includes everything you need to know about comics “from conception to creation.” So whether you are a writer, an illustrator, or both, this will help you learn the process of comic creation.
