Episode 3: Lauren McKeon

On today’s show, we talk to Lauren McKeon. Lauren is a graduate from the King’s MFA program in Creative Nonfiction, and has worked as an editor with This Magazine, Toronto Life, and The Walrus. Now the Deputy Editor at Reader’s Digest, Lauren hasn’t shied away from difficult topics in her writing, tackling issues like the prison system, sexual assault, human trafficking, and of course feminism. Her first book, F Bomb: Dispatches from the War on Feminism, was nominated for the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. And her latest book, No More Nice Girls: Gender, Power, and Why It’s Time to Stop Playing by the Rules, explores how the myth of the nice girl has driven women to certain modes of behaviour in settings where structural barriers will only change if we respond more aggressively. Today, Lauren joins us to talk about writing, editing, and the work of putting big research projects into book form. Transcript coming soon. Find Lauren at the links below.
