Keli Lark
Keli Lark wears many crowns: organiser, speaker, fundraiser, filmmaker, and writer, just to name a few.
For over a decade, she was the manager of the Eisner Award winning Zeus Comics in Dallas, Texas, where she focused on being a “bibliotherapist,” helping to bring the world of comics to more women, the LGBTQ community, and those with reading challenges, especially young people. She helped facilitate a program for the Girl Scouts in which young women were taught by women comics professionals how to create their own comics, founded a women-only comics reading club, and organised many events and charitable fundraisers aimed at helping young people and those from marginalised communities.
She has spoken to the Texas Library Association and at previous Lakes International Comic Art Festivals. She has also written and directed a short film, and written a children’s book.
