Thank you for this wonderful, helpful essay. The number of stories you created and published in outstanding outlets is inspiring and the result of your talent and persistence. I am one of the readers who discovers new writers through these spin-off articles.
Loved reading this truly helpful piece. I learned so much from your class at the Southampton Writers Conference, especially about the braided essay, and the pieces I wrote during that workshop propelled me to finish my book manuscript. I will definitely keep these insights in mind as I search for an agent or small press and hopefully (fingers crossed) get my book published. Thank you so much for sharing about your process. Your talent and success inspires me.
Wow! This article is fabulous - so valuable and now I’m feeling even more inspired about my own spin-off pieces. My debut novel comes out in June and I’ve been thinking about writing some pieces… and your generous share just ignited a spark of yes! Time to get in action! So thank you so much for contributing to a newbie! I also look forward to diving into all of these articles you wrote too. Super helpful to get to see them and hear your insight into how they fit into the bigger picture. 🙏
Such a helpful article -- thank you. And congratulations for placing so many companion essays. It happens that I've already read about half of them! So you are getting out there....
I could not love the BTS on spin-off pieces more! So great for you to break it down like this. And I appreciate the "use materials you have scrapped" message. <opens up "Scraps" folder...> Thank you Lilly and Cassie.
