MON First Breakouts – Session #3: WRITING LIVES

By:

Join two master storytellers, SUSAN ORLEAN and PETER GODWIN, for an intimate conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist ANDREA ELLIOTT on the craft of capturing real lives on the page. From immersing themselves in the worlds of others to confronting the complexities of writing about their own experiences, they explore the delicate balance between observation and introspection. With insight, humor, and candor, Orlean and Godwin reflect on the ethical, emotional, and artistic challenges of portraying human lives—revealing how curiosity, empathy, and narrative shape the stories we tell about others and ourselves.
