First Draft: Conversations on Writing with Sandy Marie Bonny and Sarah Ens

First Draft: Conversations on Writing is an online talk series that dives into themes that affect our writing lives. Writing helps us to understand things and to communicate these findings to our audience, even if our audience is ourselves. Sometimes we are driven by these themes, other times they’re the things that hold us back – what we learn through the process can be revolutionary. The quest to be understood unifies all writers.

This event features a 15-minute talk presented by Sandy Marie Bonny around the theme of creative crossroads. Following the talk is an interview conversation to dig deeper into the theme, hosted and moderated by Sarah Ens.

Participants are welcome to submit questions in advance of the event to swgevents@skwriter.com.

Silos and Sparks – Disciplinary boundaries and creative momentum

Explore the potential, pitfalls, and sparks that fly when stories are forged across traditional boundaries of genre and form. Disciplinary silos can act as both resonators and brakes to the creative process, and pose unique challenges to interdisciplinary professional practice—but creative crossroads are a rich space for dialogue and exchange, and an exciting place to nurture new perspectives and new stories.
