BOOK THE WRITER is unlike any other book event. No BOOK THE WRITER is unlike any other book event. Novelist @jeanhanff asks unusually probing questions — and the audience often includes critics, memoirists, and fiction writers (not to mention the occasional lurking celebrity). Join us on tomorrow to talk about THE EXILES and more: history, fiction, politics, no doubt, and of course writing! Link in bio💛
For this week’s WRITING TIP WEDNESDAY, here’s For this week’s WRITING TIP WEDNESDAY, here’s a great tip from @bonniefriedmanauthor’s WRITING PAST DARK about finding inspiration in the most mundane places. This is a book that all writers – aspiring and established – should own. WRITING PAST DARK is on the short shelf of books I consider essential, and it's recently been reissued to celebrate its 25th anniversary. I was in an MFA program many years ago when Bonnie published an explosive essay about a taboo subject for writers—envy—in @nytbooks. It made her instantly famous in writerly circles; everyone I knew was talking about it; and it inspired this book. Links in bio to order the book, read the NYT article, and read an interview I recently conducted with Bonnie for @literaryhub 🌝
