Live on Instagram with Out of Print

 Out of Print on InstaLive discussing Craft vs Impulse

We are now on InstaLive, almost every Friday evening at 8 pm, in conversation with an Out of Print author as part of a series titled Craft vs Impulse. These engagements have allowed us to expand viewpoints, understand process and share experiences as writers. We talk about voice, impulse, craft, process, ritual, and about the pandemic and how it has affected our thinking and our practice.
