DESCRIPTION: This event is over; if you missed registering but would still like to purchase access to the recording\, please email us at info[at]hippocampusmagazine[dot]com for details.  \nWhile writing is in many ways an artistic endeavor that challenges us to take creative leaps and indulge our muses\, thinking analytically and spending time with data can actually help us improve our craft and be more effective in our writing practice. \nIn this session\, digital strategist and writer Mandy Pennington will explore: \n\nWhat analytics are and how they can be used to understand the space you currently occupy in the conversations around your work\nBasic analytics programs that can give you greater insight into where your readers come from and how they interact with you\nTools for researching and understanding audiences who might be most interested in engaging with you and your work\nStrategies for analyzing your own work and performance\nHow data can be used to strengthen your book proposal\, brainstorm new work\, and more!\n\nBy the end of this session\, writers should feel more comfortable with data without the fear of losing the soul of what makes their work uniquely compelling and personal. \nNote: In an event survey we did several months back\, this topic was suggested a few times. We heard you! And we hope to answer this question (WTF is analytics!) for you in a fun and meaningful way. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Penny Guisinger (Shift: A Memoir of Identity and Other Illusions)
DESCRIPTION: Note: if you’re reading this on mobile\, the full ticket instructions might not be showing in the ticket box above; to register\, add your chosen dollar amount and number of tickets using the + sign. (For a free ticket\, simply put in $0.) Ticket includes live event and access to recording. \nJoin Penny Guisinger for a reading from Shift: A Memoir of Identity and Other Illusions\, followed by a conversation led by Alexis Paige and an audience Q&A. (Paige is author of Work Hard\, Not Smart: How to Make a Messy Literary Life and Not a Place On Any Map and the nonfiction acquisitions editor at Vine Leaves Press.) \nAbout the Book: Penny Guisinger was not always attracted to women. In Shift she recounts formative relationships with women and men\, including the marriage that produced her two children and ultimately ended in part due to her affair with her now-wife. Beginning her story as straight and ending as queer\, she struggles to make sense of how her identity changed so profoundly while leaving her feeling like the same person she’s always been. Shift examines sexual and romantic fluidity while wrestling with the ways past and present mingle rather than staying in linear narratives. Under scrutiny\, Guisinger’s sense of her own identity becomes like a Mobius strip or Penrose triangle—an optical illusion that challenges the dimensions and possibilities of the world. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nAbout Our Speaker\nPenny Guisinger is the author of Postcards from Here and the forthcoming Shift: A Memoir of Identity and Other Illusions. All of our speakers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine; she’s not only a past contributor to the magazine\, but she also co-authored (with Alexis Paige) a chapter for Getting to the Truth: The Craft and Practice of Creative Nonfiction. \nPenny’s work has also appeared in Fourth Genre\, River Teeth\, Under the Gum Tree\, and others. Pushcart nominated\, a Maine Literary Award winner\, and a three-time notable in Best American Essays\, she is a co-director of Iota Short Forms and a former assistant editor at Brevity. Penny is a graduate of the Stonecoast MFA Program.
