Drafting Notes - Write What You Know: What Does It Really Mean?


Listen Later

It's one of the most common pieces of writing advice: Write what you know. But what does it really mean? Does it mean that if you're from a small village, you shouldn't write about people in big cities? If you're a man, you shouldn't write about women? We think it's a bit more nuanced than that, and that the phrase is often misunderstood. But what do you think? Let us know in the comments!


Drafting Notes is a new series of podcast episodes in which one award-winning writer (Tariq) and one hopefully soon-to-be-published writer (Marco) discuss various writing issues as they occur to them!


Drafting Notes episodes are available months earlier if you join our Patreon - check it out and get this and other great benefits!
