Email Giacomo at CreativeBranchesMedia@Gmail.com if you have interest in reading, or questions about the event. We have three spots available.
As with all Creative Branches programming this event prioritizes socializing, community building for everyone in the publishing industry, and emotional/psychological/philosophical health. We will seek out, and prioritize marginalized voices, in all their forms. But don’t let that discourage you from reaching out, applying, or participating.
