Welcome to In A Room Of One’s Own: Inside A Writer’s Mind – a panel and reading featuring writers Marie Lee (novelist and essayist, founder of the Asian American Writers Workshop), Mark Rozzo (journalist, New Yorker contributor, LA Times columnist), Marwa Helal (author, Ante body ), and Aleena DeStefano (author, Their Broken Knees), moderated by poet Renee Morales!

Join us at Book Culture for an intimate exploration of the creative process, philosophies, and strategies guiding their individual writing endeavours. In addition, we will consider the relationship between creative writing and academia – how the writers see academic shaping, contributing, or perhaps even quelling the field and practice.
