Mapping the Mind — part of BLR’s Conversations on Creative Writing in Healthcare series — brings together four best-selling authors for a dynamic conversation about writing the inner life. Focusing on memoirs of mental illness, neurologic disease, and psychological healing, this event explores how writers give language to experiences that are often hidden, misunderstood, or stigmatized. Through discussion of craft, literary style, and lived experience, these authors will examine how storytelling can make the invisible visible—and immensely readable!
