Dishing it Out and Choking it Down

How to Give and Receive Feedback Without Bursting into Tears.  Creative work is like breathing.  We exhale our ideas, our stories, our paintings, puppet shows, and fancy cakes. They leave our minds,  hearts and sewing machines and enter the world as art.  But first, we must inhale: Inspiration, education, and feedback. How that feedback is used is highly personal. And often its usefulness depends on how it’s delivered.  In this episode, Feral and Fawcett discuss giving and receiving feedback with one of BC’s foremost literary cheerleaders. Stella Harvey founded the Whistler Writers Festival in 2002 and was its artistic director for 20 years. She is the author of three novels, a creative writing instructor at Simon Fraser University, and a mentor to countless authors. ⁠Feral Nifty⁠ ⁠Katherine Fawcett⁠ ⁠Stella Harvey⁠ ⁠Whistler Writers Festival⁠
