Radio Enso #20 with Alison Gresik

Join me Monday, November 28th at 6 p.m. PST. My guest will be writer, traveler, and life design agent for creatives Alison Gresik.

 

About Alison: Life design agent for creatives. Ardent fiction writer. Dauntless wrestler of angels. Daydreaming wife & mama. Slow traveler. Currently in Penang, Malaysia. 

 

Life design agent for creatives: I galvanize professional writers and fine artists to create lives as self-expressive as their art. I believe in the Truth and Beauty Cycle: the never-ending flow of energy and ideas that drives your artistic process. I’ve trained in creativity coaching with Eric Maisel and the Creativity Coaching Association. 

 

Ardent fiction writer: Epiphanies, lucid dreams, and magic realism. When I’m not writing, I get squirrelly. I’ve published short stories and essays. My first book, Brick and Mortar, was nominated for the Ottawa Book Award. And I’ve been blogging since Life of Pi won the Booker. I have an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Calgary, and I’ve taught writing at various conferences and colleges. 

 

Wanderlust-er: In 2011 Shawn and I sold our house to embark on an open-ended trip around the world that we call Operation Hejira. Favourite trips: our two-week honeymoon in Newfoundland, three months in Beijing with the toddlers, and a rejuvenating visit to the Pacific Gulf islands after I quit my corporate job.
