Christa Parravani

Writing Her proved to be one of the greatest challenges Christa has faced since Cara's death. Struggling to find her sister's voice and put the often difficult truths to paper, Parravani second guessed herself and at one point contemplated giving up completely. She continued on despite her pain, and in the end created something she was truly proud of. In this invaluable presentation for aspiring writers, Christa, who holds an MFA in creative writing from Rutgers, describes her writing process and how to overcome the often daunting task of translating real life to literature.
