About this Event

This personal storytelling summit from Open Secrets Magazine features over 2 dozen essayists, memoir authors, storytellers, and editors discussing what it means to share your "secrets" with the world via writing. Learn how writers grapple with disclosing personal stories about relationships, family, identity, LGBTQIA life, mental health, and work and career. Keynote speaker Jane Pratt, editor of Another Jane Pratt Thing, and formerly editor of Sassy, Jane, and xoJane, will discuss with Open Secrets Magazine editor Rachel Kramer Bussel the enduring popularity of first person writing and how she approaches editing personal essays.
