Yumna Kassab: The Physical Act of Writing

It is often repeated that a writer requires a room of one’s own, but what are the broader factors and conditions that help a person to write both regularly and happily? In this Keynote, Yumna Kassab will explore the rituals, tools, routines and environmental conditions that assist in a sustainable creative practice. It will touch on the various factors Yumna has experimented with and adjusted in order to write in a regular way.
