Our Writer to Writer: Conversations on Craft & Featured Readings series pairs VSC alumni and friends together to discuss all aspects of being a working writer. These live virtual events are a window into a writer's life and also provide access to, and a platform for, diverse voices and writing talent across genres. Conversations may touch on craft, literary friendship, publishing, sustaining a writing practice, and more.
