An Evening of Live Storytelling

Join Wildfire’s April Stearns and guest editor & Founder of Rethink Breast Cancer, MJ DeCoteau, live on the Zoom stage, where the writers of the “Thriving” issue will bring their stories to life; memoir in the writers’ own voices!

Sunday, September 27, 2026

7 pm EST/4 pm PST(2 hours)

Thriving after a breast cancer diagnosis, it turns out, looks nothing like what anyone promised. But what it does look like is saying: I'm well enough.

Thriving is a collection of essays and poetry from writers at every stage, in every season of the young breast cancer experience. Not one of them has arrived anywhere yet all of them are fully, stubbornly here.
