March 08#184: How to Write Short Stories with Sarah Hall, Jonathan Escoffery & Niamh Mulvey — Building Worlds in Small Spaces, Research That Sparks Story, Writing Endings That Feel Inevitable (Compilation)
Acclaimed short fiction writers Sarah Hall, Jonathan Escoffery, and Niamh Mulvey on building immersive worlds in compressed spaces, grounding stories in real human stakes, and writing openings and endings that transform both character and reader.

Timestamps:
(00:01:06) Sarah Hall, from Episode 161
(00:14:43) Jonathan Escoffery, from Episode 56
(00:26:40) Niamh Mulvey, previously unreleased conversation

You'll learn:
Sarah Hall's "keyhole" approach to short stories — and how the unseen world beyond the scene gives a story its depth.

Why trusting your preoccupations beats forcing a theme, and how over-awareness of your own subject can kill the fiction.

A technique for thickening a thin first draft: telescope into your character's childhood, then out to their future.

Why Jonathan Escoffery believes stories without real-world stakes will lose to equally crafted stories that engage with the world, every time.

How Escoffery pairs imagination with lived emotional experience to make unfamiliar settings resonate — and why personal growth feeds artistic growth.

What choosing a linked story collection over a novel taught Escoffery about pacing, pause, and propulsive energy.

Why Niamh Mulvey thinks showing off your best writing in an opening is a mistake — and what to do instead (start specific, name a character, put two people in relation).

A prompt for finding your story's urgency: ask "why this moment?" and aim for the energy of really good gossip.

How character desire shapes place and plot at the same time, so setting becomes what your character wants rather than backdrop.

Mulvey's "third element" — a character, object, or event seeded early that can emerge later to unlock your ending.

March 01#183: Curtis Chin — Landing National Press, Running 300+ Book Events, Booking Venues With Cold Emails, Making Book Tours Pay, Building Book Buzz Without a Marketing Team
Memoirist and filmmaker Curtis Chin on pitching for national press, booking venues through cold emails, and making a high-volume book events strategy financially sustainable.
You’ll learn:
Why Curtis booked readings before his memoir released to drive pre-orders, and what that early push unlocked.
How he found venues by researching programs and series online, then sending cold outreach without overcomplicating it.
A practical way to define your “audience” so your outreach targets the right communities and institutions.
How to write a venue email that creates urgency (a “hook” and a reason to say yes now), without sounding gimmicky.
A press pitching approach that starts local, builds credibility, and then moves toward national outlets.
What his spreadsheets are (and aren’t) for, and a lightweight way to track outreach and payments without building a complicated system.
How he initially used a publisher budget, then supplemented it with community funding when the budget wasn’t enough.
Why momentum compounds (your growing “resume” of events and media makes the next invitations easier), and how to lean into that effect.
How he structures his day to keep writing, business logistics, and book marketing moving at the same time.
How getting paid for talks changed the economics of touring, and why nonfiction subject expertise can create more paid speaking opportunities.

February 15#181: Erica Stern — Writing Hybrid Nonfiction, Genre-Bending Memoir, Blending Research and Story, Finding A Publisher
Essayist and fiction writer Erica Stern on writing hybrid nonfiction, weaving memoir with research and a ghost-story thread, and finding a publishing home for genre-defying work.

You'll learn:
What “hybrid nonfiction” can look like when memoir, research, and a fictional thread are all working toward one emotional truth.
Ways to make a genre-bending draft feel cohesive, even when it’s built from multiple modes and timelines.
How reverse outlining can help you figure out what each section is really doing, and tighten the book’s throughline in revision.
Why “moving the pieces around” for a long time can be part of the process when the structure has to be discovered, not imposed.
A mindset shift for writers making unconventional work: follow what the project needs first, before you worry about outcome or category.
How to treat “weirdness” as an asset (not a liability) when the form is doing meaning, not just style.
Practical publishing encouragement for genre-defying books: small presses can be a strong fit, and there’s a growing audience for hybrid forms.
