NY Times Book Review
Remember that one job in the world that uses creative writing, apart from a novelist (Boris Fishman) is the reviewer for the NY Times (Patricia O'Connor). Both of these people probably got their start in the literary field in high school in a creative writing course. Wow!
You may also check out the author's website here. Did you know that people are paid to create websites and blogs! Hey, didn't you just create one of those? You are well on your way to a career in writing!
Here is an interview with the author. Remember that "performance, word, and text" class you took where you learned to interview and talk to people? Yep. That, too, is a skill needed for a career in writing--both for the writer, and the journalist/interviewer at WXXI.
HOMEWORK: Please prepare for our master class by reading the material on the links, and creating a question or two you may wish to ask this author when you meet him Friday. Please prepare for your test on your story collection for Tuesday.
