B. Denise Hawkins, assoc. director of communications for the National Institute for Literacy, suggested I post questions on photo-novellas-their use and creation-on this discussion list. I am working on an article for Patient Education Management [a monthly published by AHC Media in Atlanta, GA] and will use the information for the piece. Therefore, I would appreciate full names, degrees, position titles and place of employment from responders so I can identify the source. 

            If you have any questions, or would rather talk in person please contact me at the information below:

  2.. Is there a particular audience/s this type of educational literature works well with and who are they? Why are photo-novellas pleasing to this audience?
 

  3.. What tools, resources are required to create a good photo-novella [photographer, printer, etc.] What kind of a timeline should the editor expect?
 

  4.. Are there any pitfalls to creating a photo-novella? What pieces of advice can you give for avoiding problems?
 

  5.. Is a photo-novella always based on a personal story? How do you find a good personal story?
 

  6.. Have you completed a photo-novella? If so, what topic did it address and how do you use it? Did it achieve its intended outcome? Please explain.
