Witkavitch, a former communications executive, will share how her own life transition led her to complete an M.F.A. in Creative and Professional Writing and take a “sabbatical” from corporate life to start her own consulting practice and pursue her writing ambitions. She will discuss what she learned both as a writer and as an editor and, most importantly, through her experience in transition.
