What's Next: Passages of Summer—Starting May 25
Appears in this episode
Good morning everyone. I just want to tell you about what we’re doing next on the 7am novelist, which is something I’m lamely calling “Passages of Summer.” But the upcoming episodes this summer won’t be so lame, because we’re going to be talking about one of the most difficult parts of a story or novel or memoir to get right: The first pages. I’ll be interviewing over forty writers as we read and analyze the beginning pages of their novels in hopes of helping you with your own. We’ll have Idra Novey, Caroline Leavitt, Paul Rudnick, Amina Gautier, David Heska Wanbli Weiden, and many more. Take a look at our schedule below:
