VIDA Cocktail Party
VIDA welcomes an array of female writers who, respectively, serve as faculty to local MFA programs and administrate non-profit organizations supporting underrepresented writers. Emerging writers interested in joining in critical discourse that addresses the lack of gender parity in publishing are encouraged to join this conversation. What obstacles do female writers presently face? What opportunities are ours to embrace? Brief presentations from VIDA’s guests along with a Q & A will be followed by informal conversation and merriment among those who actively desire to create a literary climate more inclusive of work by female writers.
