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 Curtis Peeteetuce around the theme of writing in other worlds. Following the talk is an interview conversation to dig deeper into the theme, hosted and moderated by Ayesha Mohsin.

 

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