How Writers Write by HappyWriter

Welcome to episode 105 - How Matt Bell Writes

Matt Bell penned one of my favorite novels of the past year, Appleseed, and so it is kinda like a pinch-me moment to interview Matt for the show. In this podcast, we dive into how to write poetic prose, how so much of the writing life is rewriting, and the list goes on and on. Matt is a master storyteller and educator. Someone who I could have interviewed for 3 hours and just barely scratched the surface.

On that note, I know there are tons of podcast listeners who I can't really communicate with. I'm starting to share a ton more thoughts on Twitter, so if you are on Twitter find me at The_Murfinator, but you can also signup for podcast updates on HappyWriter.co but just joining our newsletter.

Okay, just want to say a huge thank you to Matt for his time. Check off another bucket list interview for me.

And now, here is episode 105 with Matt Bell.
