The Black Mountain Institute's Spring 2024 Shearing Fellow, and the subject of the latest BMI Conversations podcast, Tajja Isen is the author of the award-winning Some of My Best Friends: Essays on Lip Service. Which is all to say, she has an abundance of practical literary wisdom to share in this community workshop. In the first hour, attendees can expect a discussion about what makes a strong pitch and how that varies depending on the type of story or outlet involved. In the second hour, short pitches submitted in advance will be analyzed and discussed. Hands on, informative, and fun — my writer's heart says "count me in!"
