A conversation with Marie Marshall
I talk a lot. This time, it was to the excellent Marie Marshall, who interviewed me for her blog. “The difficulty with interviewing writer and teacher-of-writing Samuel Snoek-Brown,” she writes in the introduction, “is that his web site is so comprehensive that there is little left to ask.
