Meet the 2023 Writers Conference Presenter: Joseph Keehn

Joseph Keehn has been with Johnson County Library for 10 years, and currently serves as the Library’s Event Coordinator. Joseph is a founding member of the Writers Conference and helped bring the first conference to life in 2014 with the LDS Storymakers before the library made the event their own in 2015. Since then, he has played a critical role in planning and executing the Writers Conference each year.

We’re excited to announce that this year Joseph will be joining us at the Conference in a front-of-house role, facilitating one of our passive program activities outside of the Carmack Room (the large meeting room where we host many of our lectures during the conference.)

Joseph will guide a collage-making exercise that is not only fun but also thoughtful. This creative exercise gets folks reflecting on their creative practice in an intentional way. We’ll provide all the materials you need to make a work of art that reflects you and your inner wisdom.

I’ve attended several of Joseph’s collage-making classes in the past, and it’s always been a blast. I learn something new about myself or one of my colleagues every time and always walk away with a cool piece of collage art.

You can register for the conference here. Registration isn’t required but is appreciated, and your RSVP includes both days of the conference, Nov. 3 and 4. Sessions are available on a first-come first-serve basis. We will also be hosting a Writers Conference Kickoff on Thursday, Nov. 2.
