Writing at the Edge of Culture: Q&A with Virginia Heffernan

​Join journalist, author, podcaster, and Substack writer Virginia Heffernan for a conversation about what it means to build a writing career that keeps pace with culture, technology, and politics—all at once.

​Virginia has written for the New York Times, Wired, The Atlantic, and The New Yorker, and now explores the digital age in her Substack Magic + Loss. She’s figured out how to move between institutions and independent platforms while keeping her voice—and her values—intact.

​We’ll talk about how writers can:

• ​Stay relevant in a fast-changing media landscape

• ​Build loyal readerships beyond traditional outlets

• ​Find a distinctive voice that cuts through the noise

• ​Write about complex topics (tech, politics, culture) without losing clarity or style

​If you’re trying to make sense of your own place in the new writing economy—or just looking for inspiration from a writer who’s been there and adapted brilliantly—this conversation is for you.
