In this emotional episode, Julia F. Green and Ralph Walker reconnect with three writers who attended the Journey to Jupiter retreat: historical fiction writer Susan Klobuchar (Instagram, Bluesky, Substack), UCLA student Meredith Parker Fenwick, and YA writer Shawn T. Anderson. They discuss their transformative experiences at the retreat, the importance of creative community, how their writing progressed at and after the retreat, and how they navigate uncertain and challenging times as artists. Tune in for a raw and unfiltered dialogue on finding inspiration, fostering community, and burning bright through dark times.
