I’ll be joining the other members of the Paris Writers Workshop faculty (Lan Samantha Chang, Diane Lake, and Jennifer Lauck) for a discussion of “The Writer’s Life: A Balancing Act” in the Salle de Conference on the ground floor of Reid Hall at the Columbia Global Centers in the 6th arrondissement on the evening of Monday, June 3:

Our faculty will discuss the ebb and flow of life as a writer. How do we balance it all? How do we handle "writer's block," seeking feedback, dealing with literary agents and editors, juggling family, earning a living? Why is it important to separate the act of writing from the business of publishing, building a career and/or making money? Our panelists will offer their experiences both good and bad, as well as the advice they wish they'd been given when they started out. To be followed by a Q&A.

The event is open to guests who pre-register, which you can do by contacting admin.pww@wice-paris.org.
