Stuart and Lizzy discuss how cultural beliefs play into writing, “sticking” the ending, writing honestly about familial heritage, coming of age, how a story's voice travels with you, explorations in punctuation, and why wait to write about current events. Lizzy is a Senior at the University of Pennsylvania and published her poetry collection “The Presumpscot Baptism of a Jewish Girl,” through The Telling Room’s Young Emerging Authors Fellowship."}
