JUNEAU EMPIRE; November 18, 2010
Deb Vanasse takes writing clinics to Southeast Alaska with help from public libraries in Juneau and Sikta, furthering the 49 Alaska Writing Center's aim to serve a statewide audience and create connections between our far-flung literary communities.
In this profile of the 49 Alaska Writing Center, Amy Fletcher of the Juneau Empire writes: "Writing is a solitary activity, a private struggle Annie Dillard has compared to wrestling with an alligator. But though the process itself may be unsharable, one's approach to it is not, and rare is the author who doesn't benefit from the input or influence of others, especially other writers."
