Contemplations of Tomorrow: Women’s Lit Affinity Group on the Future of Literature

Surrounded by the ever changing landscape of marketing, battles with artificial intelligence, and the entanglement of uncharted genres and topics, the craft of literature faces a future of unpredictability and possibility. Bringing diverse perspectives to share their visions for the future of literature, Michelle St. Romain Wilson, a nonprofit leader and lifelong writer; Sherry Keith, a memoir and fiction author; Regina Lawless Toney, a speaker and author on leadership and personal narrative; and Jósa Goodlife, a memoirist exploring embodiment and storytelling, members of the Women’s Lit Affinity Group that was created in 2018 during the #MeToo movement to elevate the voices of all those who identify as women, including trans and nonbinary individuals. Connection is at the true heart of what they aim to cultivate in the affinity group, and they invite all members of the community to this engaging town-hall style discussion, moderated by author Michaila Oberhoffer, to reflect on writing today and literature to come.
