Writers are sewn from the same cloth as everyone else, but the ties that bind are more visible. The stitches show. Join Writespace for the workshop Spirituality and Life Goals for Writers to see how authors can use their life experience to benefit their writing--and how their writing can benefit their life goals. With concrete examples and historical context, join author Nishta Mehra for a workshop that will prove illuminating in more ways than one.

Nishta Mehra was raised among a tight-knit network of Indian immigrants in Memphis, Tennessee. She is the proud graduate of St. Mary's Episcopal School and holds a B.A. in Religious Studies from Rice University and an M.F.A in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona. An English teacher with over a decade of experience in middle and high school classrooms, she lives with her wife, Jill, and their child, Shiv, in Houston. She is a fan of bourbon and old-school Tex-Mex (though not necessarily together) and makes a very fine buttermilk biscuit. Mehra is the author of the exceptional memoir Brown White Black.
