Critical Minded, the Pop Convergence is expanding our mentorship offerings with seven hour-long sessions designed to assist up-and-coming music writers from underrepresented and marginalized communities.
All sessions are now filled for direct participants but this is a public session that audience members are allowed into.Session Description: This mentorship session examines the process of researching, writing and selling biographies. The session will open out into a discussion with all present regarding issues involved in writing about the arts, for few literary forms support such a sprawl of approaches and voices that both draw and diverge from traditions in criticism, history and personal history writing more than does the biography.
