The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft and creative process advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
Look to nature for story inspiration: Natalie Hart shares both a bird-centric passage from a beloved book and her own observation of birds outside of her house as an illustration of how the natural world can lead us to questions and truths to explore in our fiction (Writer Unboxed).
-
How to use hidden experiences to pull readers in: Angela Ackerman explains how emotions that can make us feel alone, when we experience them in real life, will actually endear characters to us when they have similar feelings ... even if the circumstances are vastly different (Writers Helping Writers).
-
The simmering pots of story: Barbara O'Neal reflects on the places she's visited — and the feelings they've evoked — and how each has become an ingredient in her writing (Writer Unboxed).
