Genevieve will read briefly from recent work and then lead a Q&A about overcoming creative writing challenges. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and share ideas about the solitary and often bewildering writer’s life. Topics might include: writer’s block, publishing without a degree, submitting work to magazines, finding time to write, and writing about difficult topics.

Her writing can be found in The Best Small Fictions, New England Review, The Southern Review, Electric Literature, Literary Hub, The Colorado Review, and elsewhere.
