I had a great time discussing Free Your Inner Nonfiction Writer with Mark Leslie Lefebvre on Episode 316 – Free Your Inner Non-Fiction Writer with Johanna Rothman.
I met Mark back in 2017 when I attended an Anthology workshop from the nice folks at WMG Publishing. I sold two short stories at that workshop, my very first short story sales. (Woo!) At the time, he thought I was an experienced short story writer. (Uh, no. I have more experience, now, but fiction feels very different than nonfiction to me.)
For you agile types, Mark runs his podcast as a reflection—a retrospective—of what he learned from speaking with the guest.
In between our laughter, discussed many topics, including:
- The fact that I am not a “natural” writer.
- If we write fast, we tend to write better (because our author voice emerges and we stop interrupting ourselves).
- And why writing is so good for content marketing.
Enjoy, and laugh along with us.
