"Writing has extracted from me this idea of exorcising demons, but also exercising a self that felt so erased." -Cherry Lou Sy
In the first MiP episode of 2025, Jenn speaks with debut author Cherry Lou Sy (Love Can't Feed You) about adjusting to prose writing as a playwright, the line between fiction and autofiction, and how the stories we need to create most come from a necessity to be seen.
