#78 [Replay] Writing About Social Issues with Author Kavita Das

All craft is political. It’s how we, as writers, resist injustices and dream up better worlds. So, listen to this conversation with the brilliant Kavita Das, and then take up your pen.

Kavita Das really takes us on an intentional journey with her deep knowledge of social justice work. She challenges us to unpack our motivations for writing about an issue and to understand that “writing, irrespective of genre or outlet, is an act of political writing,” regardless of intention.

Craft and Conscience: How to Write About Social Issues by Kavita Das, was published by Beacon Press in 2022.
