A question for you



EVERY WORD TELL

Writing and publishing insight from nonfiction collaborative writer Blake Atwood


I missed two weeks of sending this email because life and work have been gratefully busy.

Between ongoing projects, including a year-long project that wraps up this week, I've also been my kid's unpaid Uber driver for a few summer camps. In a few weeks, we leave for a family reunion, so I'm doing my best to ensure timelines remain steady too.

If I'm honest, my calendar's been a bit too colorful lately, so our vacation will come at an optimal time.

However, I am looking forward to "working" this Saturday.

I'll be part of a panel discussion on selling and pricing your writing this Saturday, June 28, for the Art Boost Conference in Dallas. If you're a creative who wants to "transform their artistic passion into a thriving, socially impactful career," I encourage you to attend.

In upcoming newsletters, I'll share more from that panel, including my own talking points and what else I've gleaned from my fellow panelists.

Until then, what are your selling and pricing questions?

Why am I getting this?

EVERY WORD TELL Writing and publishing insight from nonfiction collaborative writer Blake Atwood Some days, I wish I had graduated from college and gone directly into publishing. But then I read something like "The Three Jobs of the Modern Editor, or 36 Plates" by Sean deLone. If you want to know just how much is required of today's in-house editors, read that. I already respect what they do, but this behind-the-scenes look made me even more appreciative. Plus, deLone writes, "If you hear...

EVERY WORD TELL Writing and publishing insight from nonfiction collaborative writer Blake Atwood Last week, my family and I took a four-day trip to New York City to do all the touristy things. My wife and son had never been. It's been at least twenty years since I've been. Despite persistent rain, we had an excellent trip. We saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Othello (just me), Wicked (my wife and son), and Hugh Jackman Live: From New York with Love. Bookwise, we visited the Strand ("18...

And one of the things I try to do as a producer is to get people to do what comes to them the most naturally, because people underestimate that thing about themselves. Like the thing that feels like breathing is not that interesting, you know?" In his latest (and highly recommended)...
