Tatum Dooley on Her Writing Life, How to Pitch Editors, and Curating an Artful Existence (even in lockdown‪)‬ The Word Weaver Podcast

    • Books

On today's chapter of the Word Weaver Podcast I chat with Toronto-based writer and art curator, Tatum Dooley. Her writing has appeared in the Globe & Mail, Artforum, The Walrus, Vogue UK, Lenny Letter, TeenVogue and more. She is also the founder of Canadian Art Forecast, showcasing upcoming and mid-career Canadian artists.

I loved getting to talk shop with Tatum! As we’re currently in another lockdown, conversations like these really fill me up and motivate me to keep going.

We chat, amongst other things, about:

The current media landscape (click quota culture & quality journalism)

Cultivating a creative community as an introvert

Lockdown writing routines/rituals

If working in a bookstore is as romantic as it sounds

How to pitch freelance articles to editors (she’s a pro!)

Canadian Art Forecast and why art is needed now more than ever

What it was like working for TeenVogue

What she’s reading, watching and listening to these days!
