Drawn to Character CoordinatorTania Gigliottiis the little Hobbit you may have seen previously working in the children's section of bookstores and comic book stores around Edmonton. Or, perhaps you may have seen her teaching or performing belly dance? Tania writes mostly academic research papers these days, but loves to write just about anything (and also loves to stay on brand!). She currently runs Drawn to Books - a small non-profit helping kids create comics - and is now honoured and ecstatic to be joining the YouthWrite team! Plus, she is eager to be Gail's favourite! |
