In the second part of the 2023 Write Women Book Fest journey, 7 women writers share their inspiring stories, cover the challenges they've overcome, and encourage writers to pursue their passion.

I just read this interesting article from Austin Kleon that I thought I'd share. It talks about the things that you leave out of your work, your self-imposed restrictions. It made me think of the challenges of writing in poetic forms. If you haven't read any of Kleon's books, I highly recommend "Steal Like an Artist."

The Write Women Book Fest features women authors in a variety of genres, signings, live poetry, panel discussions, swag, and bookish merch
