In this episode, we welcome award-winning journalist, poet, and fiction author Meg Smith who takes us through her passion for writing. Her brilliance and expertise as a journalist shine through as she shares the importance of exploring all sides of an issue, how covering challenging stories is the best teacher, and how the community’s trust in their beat journalist is sacred. Meg lets us in on her poetry publishing process and how an epidemic of medieval times became the relevant backdrop for her fiction collection ‘The Plague Confessor’ - which was published in 2020 - that challenges the reader to examine their own judgments and biases.
