Write About Now includes interviews with zombie whisperer Max Brooks, The Nightingale author Kristin Hannah, designer Betsey Johnson, #1 New York Times bestselling author David Grann and so much more.
When Jonathan Small began interviewing bestselling writers for his podcast Write About Now, he didn't anticipate how moved and inspired he'd be hearing their origin stories. He wasn't alone, as listeners wrote to tell him it was their favorite part of the show. Now, at the beginning of each episode, Small asks his guests how they got started-and the result has been a treasure trove of revealing backstories.
In Write About Now, Small has curated these revelations into a book of surprising and insightful conversations with a mind-boggling list of the best of the best in journalism, fiction, non-fiction, and more, including:
- Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z author Max Brooks on overcoming dyslexiaKillers of the Flower Moon author David Grann on flunking high schoolNYT-bestselling author Joyce Maynard on surviving a MeToo affair with J.D. SalingerThe Nightingale author Kristin Hannah on quitting law to write booksThe Martian author Andy Weir on self-publishing a smash hit
Write About Now also includes interviews with science writer Mary Roach, Secret Life of Bees author Sue Monk Kidd, designer Betsey Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winner Matt Richtel and so much more.
In all, Write About Now is much more than stories from A-list creatives. It's a masterclass in the art of beginning.
