"My #4C25 experience was made so much more *fun* by being gifted a @conference.creatures! It was an excellent reminder to find the joy in our work & to make time for play and exploration. This little guy was the inspiration for tiny audio story I started composing at CCCC Sound Studies and Writing Collective workshop. Thank you, Conference Creatures, for the inspiration & the joy!"

"This week, I'm participating in DMAC (Digital Media and Composition Institute), and we got sent a Conference Creature as part of our packet! Here, I am showing mine off with my me-made, very springy purple outfit (and excellent color blocked shoes) and posting today for Me Made May (which seems fitting with the Creature!)"

Writing Innovation Symposium, January 2025
Dr. Jenn Fishman has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Conference Creatures. Since reconnecting with Hannah at RSA 2025, Jenn has been kind enough to share pictures of her creatures and encourage other senior scholars to join in on the Conference Creature excitement. She has been essential in helping our project grow.
