Facts into Fiction: How genealogy and local history enriched the narrative of What Sammy Knew

By David Laskin   After a long career successful in narrative nonfiction (The Children’s Blizzard, The Long Way Home, The Family), I decided a few years ago to jump the fence to fiction.

Americanon Author Jess McHugh asks “Who gets to tell the American Story?”

By: Jess McHugh   Who gets to tell the American story?   That was the question that preoccupied me in the years of researching and writing Americanon. I was fascinated by the ways in which commonplace books, owned by millions of Americans—from almanacs to primers to cookbooks—shaped and reshaped American identity over generations of reading.

A Note to Teachers From Pity the Reader Author Suzanne McConnell

By: Suzanne McConnell As a teacher of fiction writing at Hunter College, I was always on the look-out for a book to use in classes that was instructive but not academic.  I wanted a non-textbook text that was compelling, entertaining, encouraging, and practical – one that delivered helpful news about writing in such a way

Keeping Students from the Pitfalls of Passion by Brad Stulberg

Dear Educators: A few years ago, when I began to focus more on entrepreneurial pursuits, my mom, a former writer herself, gifted me a little book titled Passion: Every Day. It was filled with inspiring quotes like “I dare you, while there is still time, to have a magnificent obsession” and “follow your desire as long as

“The Writing Process, or Why I Am a Hedge-Fox” by Julie Schumacher

It has often been pointed out – first by the Greek poet Archilochus, and then more thoroughly in an essay by Isaiah Berlin – that writers can be classified as foxes, who know and are interested in a wide variety of different things, or as hedgehogs, who specialize, burrowing deeply into a single issue or

Letter From The Author: Matthew Desmond on Researching and Writing EVICTED

Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City I began this project because I wanted to write a different kind of book about poverty in America. Instead of focusing exclusively on poor people or poor places, I began searching for a process that involved poor and well-off people alike. Eviction—the forced removal of families from
