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:
