The Balanced Writer
A writespace special event video
March 2026
In an unbalanced world, how can we create and sustain a balanced writing practice? More to the point, how can a balanced writing practice help us lead more harmonious and fulfilling personal and professional lives?
In March, WriteSPACE founder Helen Sword and special guest Michele DiPietro — a Professor of Mathematics and the Executive Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Kennesaw State University — enjoyed a lively discussion and workshop on what it means to be a “balanced writer” and what it takes to get there.
Michele DiPietro
In the first hour of this WriteSPACE Special Event, Michele introduced their most recent book, The Faculty Guide to a Balanced and Harmonious Career, which provides a yogic framework for college educators to take inventory of areas of imbalance in their professional lives and work toward more sustainable and meaningful career alignment. In the second hour, Helen and Michele conducted a hands-on workshop for WriteSPACE members and paid newsletter subscribers, exploring how the framework described in Michele’s book — based on the seven chakras at the heart of yoga philosophy — can be applied to the imbalances experienced not just by faculty writers but by writers in any profession, genre, or career stage.
