Thank you for stopping by!
This is the page where you can learn a bit about the who, what, and why behind Creative Reverberations.
What is this?
Creative Reverberations is a place to learn about artists and their art.
Each week I publish an interview with an artist—author, designer, actor, musician, painter, filmmaker, etc.—about their work, their creative process, their influences, and how they break through creative blocks.
If you’re a book reader, movie watcher, TV viewer, word writer, poetry seeker, music listener, song maker, museum-goer, jewelry wearer, cartoon admirer, theater supporter, or just a general, all-around arts lover, Creative Reverberations is for you.
Cool. Why did you start it?
I launched this publication for a very selfish reason: I’d been feeling stuck. Creatively, professionally, personally.
After being hit with a double whammy—a breast cancer diagnosis and the loss of a long-time writing gig—in late 2023, I decided to take some time off. After returning to work two months (and one double mastectomy) later, I realized that both I and the publishing world had changed drastically.
Many of the sites and publications I had turned to for a daily news fix, an entertaining read, or a thoughtful pop culture analysis had reduced staff or shut down altogether. And I wasn’t sure who I was anymore as a writer.
So, I did what I always do: I turned to the work of my favorite writers, musicians, performers, artists, and thinkers, seeking inspiration. I read books and articles and essays on creativity and art. I watched documentaries and attended live theater and revisited favorite films and pored over song lyrics.
And while doing so, I began to wonder: Who do they turn to?
Who provides the artists behind these works with the fuel they need to spark a creative fire? Who is my favorite artist’s favorite artist? And how can their favorite artist—and the inspiration they’ve gleaned from that individual’s work—help to inspire the rest of us in our art-making?
And that’s how Creative Reverberations was born.
Great. And who are you, exactly?
I’m a Boston-born, upstate NY-based Gen-Xer with a long career in the arts and entertainment fields. Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a personal assistant to a television actor-producer, an executive assistant to the head of an animation company, a film festival director, a film programmer, a production assistant on indie films, a fundraiser for multiple nonprofit arts organizations, and a freelance entertainment journalist.
My writing has been published in The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The Cut, AARP, Shondaland, Writer’s Digest Magazine, Real Simple, Next Avenue, FLOOD Magazine, and SFGate, among many others. (You can find my full portfolio at sandraebejer.com.)
Much of my work has focused on conversations with individuals in creative fields. I’ve interviewed hundreds of authors, actors, musicians, makeup artists, journalists, comedians, screenwriters, models, visual artists, self-help gurus, and others in between.
