Sponsor love: West Virginia Wesleyan College’s MFA in Creative Writing

By Brendan O’Meara

Sonia Weiser (@weischoice) is a freelance writer and the founder of the Opportunities of the Week newsletter.

This was a fun conversation, a little different than your classic CNF Pod, but fun.

Sonia writes all kinds of stuff, but admits she hasn’t quite had the bandwidth to pursue much writing these days.

A few years ago, she wrote a great essay about playing online Scrabble with her mom, charged with all those mother-daughter feels.

We talk about hobbies, writing fiction, goals, the new year, fun stuff!

The show has a new Instagram handle, @creativenonfictionpodcast, and you can always keep the conversation going on Twitter @CNFPod.
