Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely art: the solitary act of creation between the writer and the page. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

Join authors Maggie Smith, Molly Olguin, Tara Campbell, Jennifer Yu, and Lauren Westerfield in a discussion about the beauty of artistic community and writerly connections, both inside and outside academia.
