Community is at the heart of fellowship programs at Black Mountain Institute, but what exactly is “literary community?” Current and former fellows will talk about how they find and build their own networks of other readers and writers, in Las Vegas and beyond, and they’ll share strategies for sustaining one another during every stage of the writing process. The panel will include a short, guided breakout session to help attendees connect with one another.
