Joyce Faulkner just retired after five years as president of Military Writers Society of America. Joyce has been writing and winning awards since she was 15 years old. Her background also includes a career in engineering. She’s written for a variety of magazines from technical to literary. She is also the graphic designer of MWSA Dispatches Magazine and author of over 15 books many with backgrounds in Pittsburgh. She is an author and ghostwriter and co owner of Red Engine Press.   “Pittsburgh is such a cool place and we wanted to do a book that would let kids and adults know all of the great places to visit, many of them free or low cost.  And then we thought the book itself could also be a visitation of beauty.”  She is now a Pittsburgher through and through residing in Pittsburgh with her husband John and her toy poodle Rosie who is very offended that Joyce has become one of Luke’s humans in "Fun Days in Pittsburgh.  www.joycefaulkner.com ** Just Added to the Panel! ** Elizabeth Speed is an Emmy-award winning television producer with experience in all aspects of video production, magazine writing, corporate communications and training/industrial videos. She strongly believes in the power of narrative storytelling as a vehicle for the transmission of all kinds of information. Her professional background includes content and training video for Development Dimensions International, TV and magazine features for WQED Pittsburgh, and web content. ** Just Added to the Panel! ** Lorie Singer has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. She's retold stories she's seen or heard, and made up stories of her own just to amuse herself. The stories have taken lots of different shapes over the years – press releases, videos, scripts, blog entries and even a recently completed novel. Lorie believes every organization, every company, every person has a story to tell. Some are better at sharing their stories than others, and that's where she comes in. She likes to find out about an organization, it's company and it's people, learn about what makes them special, and then helping figuring out the best way to tell their story. Lorie's career has taken her from Weekend Director in small market television to Communications Specialist on a large government contract with stops along the way in Instructional Design, Graphic Support and Marketing. It's been a wonderful, if not unusual road.
