Really good blog post on how to help writers (and how writers can help themselves). Seems an appropriate post to share as Bill Roorbach heads to Portland. Oh, you’re going to be in PDX on Thursday, Jan. 10? Great! Head to Powell’s at 7:30 pm, hear Bill read from Life Among Giants, and then buy his book — he’ll totally sign it for you. Heck, buy all his books (I’m teaching from his Writing Life Stories in my nonfiction workshop starting on Monday).
