120: The Writing Life by Annie Dillard


In Episode 120, Gen and Jette dive into the latest book club pick and talk all things writing with The Writing Life by Annie Dillard. This one has been on Gen’s list for a while and the consensus it that it should be required reading for any writer or artist.

You can sign up for Gen’s writing and yoga retreat here: Fort Erie July 17-20 & The June Motel in PEC September 8-10

Our next episode is all about Canadian authors because we gotta get that CanCon. But sincerely Canada has some really incredible writers and we can’t wait to talk about them.

And the next book club selection is The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa, translated by Stephen Snyder. Read along with us this May & June so you know what’s going on when we talk about it on July 5!
