For the final episode of our debut season, we talk to Shanda McManus, a family physician and writer. Shanda is a 2021 PEN America Emerging Voices Fellow. Shanda writes about the human side of medicine in her creative nonfiction and is currently at work on a memoir in the form of letters.
Shanda discusses balancing work, family, and her writing life. She also reads an excerpt from her new memoir-in-progress. Please note that this excerpt deals with some intense topics, including suicidal ideation.
PWN's Debut Review is hosted by Project Write Now, a nonprofit writing studio. Learn more at projectwritenow.org.
