Writing is and can be a most intimate work, and vehicle why which we do seek to change the world–no matter how large it may be.

Will this change provoke other change?

Do you want this change to be sustainable?

The conveying of ideas has always sparked, forced, or moved cultures, greater society towards change. Writers and artists–those weird people who see the world behind the world–are the perfect leaders to provoke it.
