Writing That Really Matters

Walk Across that Line

Fiction Is a Social Experience

We Have a Responsibility

"We know in our deep and private places that we have a responsibility to take on things that draw our attention and to turn them into these mysterious objects—poems and stories—that illuminate, that offer an objection to the status quo, that warn and empower."

Secretive about Money

"I feel strongly that we're only hurting ourselves as writers by being so secretive about money. There's no other job in the world where you get your master's degree in that field and you're like, well, you might make zero or you might make $5 million! We don't have any standards in that way, and we probably never will. There will always be such a wide range of what writers are paid, but at least we could give each other information."
