It was so great to have such a large crowd join us Monday night as Creative Nonfiction Founder Lee Gutkind interviewed award-winning journalist Jeanne Marie Laskas—a contributing writing for The New York Times Magazine; “Cement City,” podcast host; and author of the bestselling book-turned-movie Concussion. If you missed this chat, you can watch the full thing above.
Don’t forget: This weekend is our First-Ever Mindfulness + Meditation Mini-Retreat for Writers, a 2-hour session designed to bolster your writing practice via guided exercises, meditation, thoughtful writing prompts, and collaboration with peers.
The next episode of our Open Book live video series will take place on Tuesday, September 16 at 12pm ET when Melissa Petro—whose new book Shame on You: How to Be a Woman in the Age of Mortification, was named an Amazon Editors’ Pick for Best Nonfiction Book of the Month—will talk about How to Write a Hybrid Memoir.
