Picayune Writers Group 8th Annual Free Writers Symposium lineup: Melinda Taliancich Falgoust



     Author and speaker Melinda Taliancich Falgoust bears a strong resemblance to a steam roller, although a delightful one. She speaks, teaches, encourages, acts, operates puppets and generally performs at high speed as she careens through life. One of the stops on her path will be the 8th Annual Picayune Writers Group Free Symposium on Saturday, September 24.

     She has spoken at past PWG Symposium’s and been a crowd favorite with her techniques of drawing the entire audience into her presentation. Both children and adults respond to her fast-paced demonstrations and experiments. 

     Some of her presentations include puppets, while others include props such as treasure chests and pirate costumes. She utilizes her acting background as well as her writing skills to enliven her subjects and share her wisdom. When Falgoust arrives, the fun begins.
