On February 28, 2019, The Washington City Paper published work from its first-ever essay contest focused on the unique stories of Washington, D.C. natives. This debut episode of "Live From The Library" explores the art of the personal essay, why featuring the voices of diverse and native residents is important to local storytelling, how does one craft a compelling essay, and the ways in which this art form shapes today's literary world. Featured and interviewed guests include Christina Sturdivant Sani, freelance writer and editor of the WCP series Home Rulers: D.C. Natives Speak on Their City, and Kyle Dargan, Director of Creative Writing at American University.
