Episode 94: Robbie Maakestad
Author, researcher, and professor Robbie Maakestad is not lacking in confidence when it comes to submitting. At least not right away.
In this episode of The Written Scene, Robbie discusses what he's learned about writing through teaching, using a highlighter to organize notes, the formulaic nature of early reader books, how we learn to read and the impact it has on our reading style, falling in love with essays and essay writing, creating emotion when writing non-fiction, the various ways to find needed writing communities, submitting writing and his process, rarely paying to submit writing for publication, lessons learned as a writer from also working in publishing, being an early reader for a publisher as early as possible on your writing path, and much more.
