1.11 - Author care in creative writing with Kim Pittaway
Episode description
What does author care mean and how can we start to be proactive about it? What can we do now, to not only support future writers as they publish and promote their books, but how can we preemptively tackle imminent burnout and prevent writers from giving up on their creative talents because of the abrasive nature of publishing, the current state of the world? How can we build the conditions needed to create in a healthy way? It starts with the self.
Today’s guest, Kim Pittaway is a cohort director in creative nonfiction in the limited-residency MFA program at the University of King's College in Halifax, NS. She is the co-author, with Toufah Jallow, of Toufah: The Woman Who Inspired an African #MeToo Movement. Join us as we dive into the creative writing program realm and discuss what care can really mean.
