The Writer I Was: Six Authors Look Back on Their First Novels

Meredith Turits - 9.29.2015 | 8
One does try to be a good literary citizen, and most of the time it’s a decent country to be citizen of, but other times it feels like you’re wading to middle school through a waist-deep river of shit.

How to Title Every Book You Ever Write

Janet Potter - 8.17.2015 | 5
Get out your favorite album. Rank the tracks in order of how much you like them. Take the fourth song. Print out the lyrics to that song and black out any that are well known. From the remaining lyrics, choose either the first or second half of a complete thought. Note: It must be meaningless out of context.

The Audacity of Prose

Chigozie Obioma - 6.8.2015 | 55
Writers should realize that the novels that are remembered, that become monuments, would in fact be those which err on the part of audacious prose, which occasionally allow excess rather than those which package a story -- no matter how affecting -- in inadequate prose.

The Admiral in the Library: The Millions Interviews James Stavridis

Marcia DeSanctis - 4.29.2015 | 12
Reading is integral to my life. And I think, in the end, we solve global problems not by launching missiles, it’s by launching ideas. So as a tool for understanding the world and for understanding how you can change the world, I find fiction incredibly important.

How Will I Live? Fame, Money, Day Jobs, and Fiction Writing

Gina Fattore - 4.16.2015 | 15
What happened in those eight missing years to make a well-reviewed, commercially successful author fall so far so fast? Heartbreak? Rehab? Addiction to designer shoes? Easy: She took the wrong day job.
