#395 Matt Bell: How To Enjoy Writing Your Novel


Listen Later

My guest today is author and novelist Matt Bell! Today we’re chatting about his latest book Refuse To Be Done, a guide to novel writing, rewriting and revision. He is also the author of multiple novels included Appleseed which was A New York Times Notable Book and he teaches creative writing at Arizona State University. I absolutely loved this latest book on how to write and rewrite a novel in three drafts and have been using tools from it as I work on my own future fiction projects. We chat all about novel writing a lot in this one, so I hope you enjoy and you can find a link to Matt’s book below, hope you enjoy.
