Launch Party Recap and Author Q&A
Missed the launch party? We invite you to watch the recording.
Flourish isn’t just a publication imagining hopeful climate futures — it’s also a community.
That’s why we celebrated the launch of Flourish Fiction earlier this month with a launch party to welcome writers interested in joining the collective and to give readers an inside look at what we’re creating. We offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended — it was a joy to share this milestone with you!

In addition to introducing Flourish Fiction and explaining how to get involved, the launch party also featured members of the collective sharing or discussing their creative work, including:

[19:19] a Q&A with the authors of the first three short fiction stories:
Blake Atkerson, author of The Old Way Forward
Shilpi Kumar, author of A Land of Rivers and Stars
Ben Soltoff, author of The Earthling Who Came to Dinner
We’re delighted to share the recording with you and we encourage you to share it with your community. We hope it brings you some measure of hope and inspiration!
