The Story Will Save You
In these usually-bite-sized episodes, we explore the nuances of writing and publishing from the perspective of authors, agents, editors, and those who haven’t quite yet broken in—and how, at the end of the day, it’s the art of storytelling that’ll save us (or obliterate our sanity into dust … it’s a coin flip).
Hosted by Pipeline Artists' Ciara Duggan, Jeanne Veillette Bowerman and Matthew Joseph Misetich.
