Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! I'm very grateful to have had the careful attention of the excellent editors at The Forge. ( https://forgelitmag.com/tag/2021-pushcart-nomination/) I am writing and compiling stories for a collection, and revising a novella. I enjoy teaching Narrative Medicine to medical students.
Narrative Medicine is the discipline of using stories to inform and enrich the human experience of the body and spirit in health and disease. Students who learn how stories work acquire advanced communication and feedback skills and can sharpen their intuition.
Of course! Think: fiction writing for medical students, residents or health professionals; narrative medicine for writing students, or any combination therein.
