Featured Writers: Daphna Kohn & Kelly Tadlock

Daphna Kohn and Kelly Tadlock first met when they participated in a Write Around Portland workshop at Portland Women's Crisis Line. They loved writing in community so much they haven't stopped after the workshop ended. "I like that you're not isolated" writing in a group, Kelly told us. Read more about Kelly and Daphna and their experience writing in community.
