Building visions towards a liberatory future will take creative power, vulnerability, radical imagination, and the capacity to honor difference in all its beauty. Lyo-Demi exemplifies this courage and power in their writing and poetry: “My diagnosis of “bipolar disorder,” in my opinion, is both a sensitivity towards and reaction to traumas (both personal and systemic) that yields strength, creativity, and passion, and my diagnosis of “gender dysphoria”…well that just makes me fabulous.” (From essay: Not Confused, Not Crazy) As we ‘reinvent the world,' many of us have to wade through the nuances of adopting or rejecting labels, and find ways to support ourselves and each other, both within and outside systems. In this episode, Lyo-Demi and I talk about DSM categories, the generative and difficult aspects of mental health concerns, and the gift and power of creativity. In this episode we discuss: the power of mutual aid and peer support reframing and depathologizing mental health diagnoses generative aspects of what gets labeled bipolar and mania honoring difference at the intersection of neurodiversity and gender queerness using creativity, graphic novels and stories to build visions toward liberation Bio Lyo-Demi Green (they/them) is a queer and non-binary writer, graphic novelist and tenured community college professor living in the San Francisco Bay Area on Ohlone Land. They have been published on Salon, The Body is Not an Apology, Foglifter, and elsewhere.

In 2009, Fudan University launched China's first MFA program in creative writing, spurring a wave of such programs in Chinese universities. Many of these programs' founding members point to the Iowa Writers Workshop and, specifically, its International Writers Program, which invited dozens of Mainland Chinese writers to take part between 1979 and 2019, as their inspiration. In her book, The Transpacific Flow: Creative Writing Programs in China (Association for Asian Studies, 2024), Jin Feng explores why Chinese authors took part in the U.S. programs, and how they tried to implement its teaching methods in mainland China–clearly, a very different political and cultural environment. In this interview, Jin and I talk about the Iowa Writers Workshop, the Chinese authors that attended, and the surprising links between U.S. and Chinese academia. Jin Feng is Professor of Chinese and Japanese and the Orville and Mary Patterson Routt Professor of Literature at Grinnell College, USA. She has published four English monographs: The New Woman in Early Twentieth-Century Chinese Fiction (Purdue University Press: 2004), The Making of a Family Saga (SUNY Press: 2009), Romancing the Internet: Producing and Consuming Chinese Web Romance (Brill, 2013), and Tasting Paradise on Earth: Jiangnan Foodways (University of Washington Press, 2019), three Chinese books such as A Book for Foodies and numerous articles in both English and Chinese.

After a twenty year hiatus she's writing poetry, making art, and creating a a lot of chaos with her opinions on onions and pies."

Tune in and get all the details!

Our notes for this conversation with Christine, before we had it, were this: expect this to be a casual vibe, hilarious interaction, lighthearted fun conversation! We would say that was EXACTLY what this was, in a nutshell. We went into this thinking we'd probably discuss some stuff like her upcoming book(s), plans, and more. But it really was more of a conversation that was about so many other facets of life than we had planned out, and it also seemed like the perfect conversation to air this holiday week. And - if this doesn't make you want to hear more about Rebecca and Becky in the fall, we don't know what will! What to listen for: Time, and how we process this as we get older Intentionality, and how this plays a role in everything in our lives from simpler living, to projects we choose, to how we spend our time Rebecca, Not Becky - the story of a suburban interracial friendship with SO MUCH under the surface, coming out later in 2023! About Christine: Christine Platt is an author and advocate also known as The Afrominimalist. She holds a B.A. in Africana Studies from the University of South Florida, an M.A. in African and African American Studies from The Ohio State University, and a J.D. from Stetson University College of Law. From working with educators and children through the ADL's No Place for Hate in Schools initiative to serving as a Senior Policy Advisor for the US Department of Energy, Christine has dedicated her career to working at the intersections of social justice and environmental sustainability. A believer in the power of storytelling as a tool for social change, her literature centers on teaching and building empathy and awareness for people of all ages. Christine is a member of the American Association of Blacks in Energy, Women's Council on Energy & the Environment, Association of Writers and Writing Programs, Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, Association of Black Women Historians, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, and serves as an Ambassador for Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture.

(0:00) Artificial intelligence programs are getting pretty good at writing things, including speeches for politicians. A representative read one to Congress recently, prompting Chaz and AJ to immediately call Steve Greenberg "The Gadget Guy" for more information about how prominent these programs will become in the future.

I'm in Prague for the Summer. Going to be participating in one of the world's leading creative writing programs. I interviewed its founder Richard Katrovas. Why listen to Richard? Having run the Prague Summer Program for Writers for more than two decades, he knows a lot about the process of teaching creative writing; plus he knows karate. We talk about listening and critiquing artfully, not fucking with style, the formalization of a sense of literary community; counter-culture, the literary conversation, literary communities in different epochs, communal writing, work-shopping, the genius of the English language incorporating other languages, publishing first books, validation, the importance of self-esteem and personal prestige, the desire for social relevance, Ernest Becker; 'who touches a book touches a man,' book fetishes, the weirdness of poetry and Prague, ripping off books, living in the Projects, and much more. This is part one of the conversation. I'll conduct part two once I've gone through the wringer.

Overview When she was in her mid-twenties, debut author Diane Zinna found herself completely on her own in a new city, teaching at a small Catholic college outside of DC. She was in the middle of a long period of grief following the loss of both of her parents when she met and befriended a Swedish student at the school. Their bond deepened, and the student invited her to visit Sweden with her for the summer. This trip was a sort of thawing out for Zinna, and the start of a long-awaited healing process. But questions stuck in her mind long after she returned home: what if things had gone wrong on the trip, when Zinna was still so emotionally fragile? What if things took a turn at the school she worked at, which had been a lifeline for her at the time? What would she have had to learn to keep going? Out of these questions came THE ALL-NIGHT SUN, a propulsive, memorable debut.Diane Zinna is originally from Long Island, New York. She received her MFA from the University of Floridaand has taught writing workshops for more than a decade. She formerly worked at AWP, the Association of Writers & Writing Programs, and in 2014, Diane created the Writer to Writer Mentorship Program, helping to match more than six hundred writers over twelve seasons. Diane has become well-known for her popular, online grief writing sessions that have grown each Sunday since the start of the pandemic. Diane lives in Fairfax, Virginia, with her husband and daughter. The All-Night Sun is her first novel. Her Book All-night sun Favorites Lincoln in Bardo https://www.bardsalley.com/ YouTube https://youtu.be/-fCXLZ_Lyqw Transcript Diane, I want to walk him into the podcast. And how are you doing today? [00:01:38] Diana: I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me. [00:01:41] Stephen: It's good to see you. I'm glad we could get on. Let's tell everybody a little bit about you tell us where you live and what you like to do besides. [00:01:51] Diana: Sure. So I live right now, right outside of Washington, DC in Northern Virginia, but I grew up on long island and went to college on long island and [00:02:00] did my masters and were pretty writing in Florida. So I've been all up and down the east coast, but I'm a Northern Virginia girl now. Other than writing. I love to travel, which I haven't been able to do much lately, but people who've read my work can really see and feel my love of visiting other cultures and countries. And part of that I think is also my love for learning other languages. And so I'm always, probably have my nose in my phone doing an app or. I am just reading a little bit of something and another language has to keep adding more and more words and sounds to [00:02:37] Stephen: my heart. Yeah. And I know a lot of people are discovering reading on the phone, actually isn't bad, which helped spark the new fella, serial fiction Renaissance. And I know authors like Kevin Tumlinson. Drafted digital will have said he's written a whole book waiting in lines on his phone and published it. [00:02:57] Diana: Absolutely. Yeah. And [00:03:00] one thing about me that I'm famous for anything is riding in my car. It's like a long story and it sounds really weird, but I just got into the habit with it after my daughter was born because I was having a really hard time separating and hubby would say go to the cafe across the town and sit and take four hours and work. But I could never really get that far. I was always afraid that something was going to happen. Back at home. And so I always just get around the corner and parked my car in the parking lot of the little mini mall. And I'd sit there with my laptop open that nowadays whenever I'm driving, it feels like the muse is like rush out to meet me. And I know when Diane's in her car and she's in movement, like that's when the idea should come. So the note section on my phone is just full of stories, ideas. Yeah.

Page One, produced by Booxby, celebrates the craft that goes into writing the first sentence, first paragraph and first page of your favorite books. The first page is often the most rewritten page of any book because it has to work so hard to do so much—hook the reader. We interview master storytellers on the struggles and stories behind the first page of their books.In Episode 5, we interview bestselling author Tom Barbash about all the decisions that went into the first page of his novel, The Dakota Winters, about a family living in New York City's famed Dakota apartment building in the year leading up to John Lennon's assassination. It's the fall of 1979 in New York City when twenty-three-year-old Anton Winter, back from the Peace Corps and on the mend from a nasty bout of malaria, returns to his childhood home in the Dakota. Anton's father, the famous late-night host Buddy Winter, is there to greet him, himself recovering from a breakdown. Before long, Anton is swept up in an effort to reignite Buddy's stalled career, and ends up on a perilous journey that takes him out to sea with John Lennon. Barbash shares some secrets of the craft and approaching the first page as a promise to the reader. If you're aspiring to write a modern historic novel, Tom discusses wise approaches to the painstaking research he did for The Dakota Winters and staying in a '1979' frame of mind. About the author:Tom Barbash is an American writer of fiction and nonfiction, as well as an educator and critic. He is the author of the novel The Last Good Chance, a collection of short stories Stay Up With Me, and the bestselling nonfiction work On Top of the World: Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick & 9/11: A Story of Loss & Renewal.

Learn how to self-publish before you choose to self-publish, is the sage advice of self-publishing expert, Joanne Dannon. It’s easy to upload your book, but it’s a lot harder to sell your book, develop your brand and make a living from your writing. Step 1 is to write a good book, followed by professional editing rounds, formatting, cover design and uploading to the various sales platforms. Then, there’s the business side of things; your website, blog, social media strategy, and mailing list. Did I mention being consistent with your brand from the start, which will save you the pain of having to re-jig everything down the track? Still want to self-publish? Good. Joanne has published thirteen books, and she’s made it her business to learn the business of self-publishing. The rewards are more than merely financial. You are in control of your business and making mistakes is all part of the learning process. Luckily, there are great courses, blogs, conferences and people out there to smooth your journey. Being professional is a great place to start, and there’s no-one better to listen to than Joanne when it comes to being professional about self-publishing. I’ve been teasing her about being the next Bella Andre – but secretly I think Joanne is already successful in her own right. You can find out more about Joanne and her books http://joannedannon.com/home/ (here.) https://writerontheroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creative-Mermaids.png () This week’s podcast is sponsored by the beautiful Sherrie McCarthy over at Creative Mermaids.

But over the course of many years I have been asked. Will you write me a program to do on vacation? Will you put something together for me to do at home? Do you have stuff for me to do when I’m too busy with the kids and I can’t get to the gym? I travel a lot for work – what do you have for hotel rooms? It’s too nice to be inside for the summer – can you write me an outdoor work out? If any of this resonates with you – I have a solution (stay tuned).
