In which Robert Clark – Edgar Award Winner, Guggenheim Fellow, novelist, essayist, and “nonfictionista” – and I have a good meaty talk about writing, including a healthy dose of the craft and process stuff I love. Robert talks about how he hatches a book, his transition from nonfiction to fiction at the beginning of his book career, and why it’s important for writers to read broadly as well as deeply. He talks a bit about what he admires about YA fiction, and I also asked him about a couple of workshops he’s teaching this summer (more info below), which, as a former student, I highly recommend.

By special arrangement with my local independent book store, The King’s English, you can always find signed copies of my novels there.
If you’re not local, you can order signed copies from them and have them shipped and, if you like, gift wrapped. Also, if you’d like me to personalize a signed copy, we can make that happen.
And, of course, anywhere books are sold.
Thanks for this great interview, Sara. Now I’m even more excited to take the fiction course with Robert Clark this summer at Glen East!
