Speaker
Deborah A. Lott
Topic
"Writing About Trauma: Art from Adversity"
Deborah A. Lott is a writer, editor, and college instructor. Her creative nonfiction has been published widely and acclaimed.
Her most recent novel, Don’t Go Crazy Without Me, was released in April 2020.It is a tragicomedy story of a girl growing up under the spell of a charismatic yet completely psychotic father. Over time she learns how to break from the unrealistic world in which she was indoctrinated while pursuing her own unconventional path through life. She learns to turn grief into love along the way. The fact that the story is a memoir makes all the more compelling.
Lott teaches creative writing and literature courses at Antioch University, Los Angeles. She is also a freelance editor who has worked with a number of published authors developing articles, web content, books, academic monographs, and other material.
