Mental Health & Creativity (Part 2)

About

Welcome to "Rough Drafts Welcome," produced by Salt & Sage Books and hosted by the delightful duo, Erin and Sachiko. Dive into the intricate world of authoring with us, where mistakes aren't just expected – they're celebrated. From the profound value of beta reading to the delicate art of sensitivity reading, we journey through every facet of writing books. Our tagline says it all: "You – We can mess up here." So, whether you're an author searching for guidance, an editor hoping to deepen your craft, or simply a book lover seeking behind-the-scenes insights, this is your friendly space. Grab your coffee, put on those headphones, and join our conversation – where every draft, rough or refined, is welcome.

Welcome back to the conversation between our incredible editor, Amy Bowen, and our host, Erin. This is part two of a continued conversation about the intersection of creativity, mental wellness, prescriptions, medication, privilege, and power structures. If you missed part one, check out the episode just before this one.

In part two, the conversation turns to specific actions that all creatives can take to help accommodate for and support their own mental health.
