Writing personal stories (or fiction drawn from real life experiences) about trauma and grief is an incredibly intimate and vulnerable gift. This panel will look at the ethical and therapeutic issues of writing through our personal pain and why these survival stories are cathartic for both the author and the reader. Moderated by UWGB's Christine Smith.
