Favorite Writing Advice: “The bigger the issue, the smaller you write….You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.” From Richard Price. For more information visit: www.SouthernSassPublishingAlliances.com |
