Finding Your Voice Later In Life (Is It Too Late To "Emerge?") Conversation

As college writing programs proliferate, the notion of "emerging writers" (in fellowships, residencies, grants, and concept) is a notion that needs to be expanded. Opportunities that are meant to nurture writers who are at the beginning of their writing journeys should not be based on age (or experience in other parts of the industry)—but on their need for nurturing/support as they navigate their way through finding their voice. Christine Toy Johnson will moderate a discussion with panelists Emily Morse, Hunter Bell, and Timothy Huang (participants subject to change) to talk about their experiences and to help inspire writers to find new ways to stay hopeful and proactive, know that they have a place in the community with others sharing similar concerns, and to foster a meaningful discussion.
