The Writers

In this section, we ask successful writers how they got published, about their work habits, for advice on coping with rejection letters, and to pass on any tips they might have for other writers.

We’ll be adding more interviews in upcoming weeks so do check back to see what’s new. In the meantime, prepare to be inspired by the writers listed below.
