#AWP19 F300. Creative Self-Care: Balancing Your Own Writing with Support for Your Students

  • Portland Convention Center C124, Oregon Convention Center, Level 1 (map)

Many creative writers also teach in a variety of settings as they pursue their own writing goals. Writer-teachers support a broad range of students, from new to vulnerable to highly accomplished. Working in MFA programs, four-year and community colleges, K-12 settings, or in youth or community programs, the panelists show how to retain focus on their own work as they guide the journeys of students who need instruction, mentoring, and sometimes just a safe, supportive creative space to write.
