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 Zachari Logan, around the theme of interdisciplinary approaches. Following the talk is an interview conversation to dig deeper into the theme.

 

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

 

 

Interdisciplinary Approaches

 

Zachari Logan will discuss interdisciplinary approaches as both a visual artist and writer; and how this has evolved over time and informed both modes of creation.
