In this episode I chat with Lauren Groff, bestselling author of FATES & FURIES, about her latest short story collection, FLORIDA.
We chat about her writing career spanning 6 books thus far, how she moves from short stories to novels, her ways of working, and how she gets her language and characters to sing. (spoiler: I *love* her work - she is really good)
This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know:
- how can I improve the language that I use in my stories?
- how can I learn to see the world around me more clearly?
- what are some unusual techniques I can bring to my writing?
- how can poetry help my prose?
- how can I sustain and develop my voice over several projects?
