A Discussion with
Writer Andrew Rusnak  

Monday, November 14  
7:00-8:30 PM  
Park Road Books     

Virtual reality has become a thing…and it can help you become a better writer! Understanding the literacy impacts of immersive virtual reality when it comes to other cultures is important, especially when looking at working with international clients. When you can interact in real-time with people across the world, you can bridge gaps that were previously guarded by deep waters, and you can become a student and a teacher at the same time.

This discussion will focus on using virtual reality tools in new and different ways in the literacy field, to interact with individuals in different cultures and backgrounds. Gain advice from expert Andrew Rusnak on working with international clients, non-English speakers, and more.

The truth is that the Internet has brought all of us closer together than ever before, and virtual reality technologies are simply one more step in the ever-present quest for connectivity, understanding, and the ability to preserve and promote literacy across the planet.

We look forward to seeing you there!

By most accounts, Andrew Rusnak is a pretty cool dude. In 2010, he decided to venture out into the wilderness of words and become a freelance writer. Since then, he’s concocted thousands of pieces of content for entities such as eBay, Sears, K-Mart, Greater Charlotte Biz Magazine, and about a bazillion other companies (fun fact: Microsoft Word recognizes the word “bazillion”).

Currently, he resides in Lancaster, SC, and despite being awesome all day, he is humbly learning how to be a dad with the help of his beautiful wife Christina.
