Episode 76: Cornelia Feye

Author and publisher Cornelia Feye has spent a lifetime studying storytelling through art and telling her own stories in print. 

In this episode of The Written Scene, Cornelia talks about having access to a good library as a kid, writing books with real world settings readers may not know about, being left handed, using her art history background to tell stories, how stories shape our understanding of the world, her approach to writing (think: movies), getting lost on unnecessary tangents when writing, why every writer should be in a read and critique group, how a second book revived the life of her first book's manuscript, the importance of a copy editor and proofreader, why she avoids writing sex scenes, jumping between different genres when writing, having goals and expectations in writing without limiting yourself, and much more.
