Send us Fan Mail

During this month dedicated to Mental Health Awareness, we want to take a deep dive into the healing power of writing for those of us in the MBC community.  I have admired the writing of so many greats in our community:  the poet Anya Silver, memoirist and poet Nina Riggs, and the great blog writing found on Nancy’s Point, or the spunky writing of my friends Rebecca Timlin-Scalera or Emily Garnett.  Do you find writing intimidating or something that other people do?  In this episode, we speak about the writing process with the founder and editor of the Wildfire Magazine writing community, April Stearns, a writing workshop participant & psychotherapist Erin Weiss, and poet and writer Ilene Kaminsky. 

Like all good writing -  we laugh, we cry, and we get inspired. 

Next week, we will host a special episode with readings from the writers of Wildfire Magazine.  An episode not to be missed!
