Making stuff up is an important writerly skill, as long as you don't present it as true. Five Electric Lit contributors and writing group pals Angela Chen, Lilly Dancyger, Deena ElGenaidi, Jeanna Kadlec, and Nina St. Pierre will try to pass autofiction off as memoir, in a literary twist on this time-honored get-to-know-you game. Hosted by Jess Zimmerman.

This event is presented by Sipsmith London.

Angela Chen is a science journalist and the author of Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex.

Lilly Dancyger is the editor of Burn It Down: Women Writing About Anger and the author of the forthcoming memoir Negative Space.

Deena ElGenaidi is a writer, reporter, and editor and the creator of the web series Codependent.

Jeanna Kadlec is a culture writer and the former resident astrologer for Electric Lit.

Nina St. Pierre is an essayist, reporter, and collaborative writer with Idea Architects.
