Today in The Writer's Corner: Steve Almond for a Discussion on Craft

Join us live today at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST. Link to session below!

Steve is a good friend of WISDOM & WORDS! He joined us this fall at our Writing Retreat in Maine and one thing is certain—I could talk to him for hours and hours about writing! I LOVE his craft book TRUTH IS THE ARROW, MERCY IS THE BOW and use it often in my lessons. So, I couldn't be more excited for this conversation! Hope to see you there!

Steve Almond is the author of 12 books of fiction and nonfiction, including TRUTH IS THE ARROW, MERCY IS THE BOW and the New York Times bestsellers Candyfreak and Against Football. His recent books include the novel All the Secrets of the World, which has been optioned for television by 20th Century Fox, and William Stoner and the Battle for the Inner Life. For four years, Steve hosted the New York Times Dear Sugars podcast with his pal Cheryl Strayed. He is the recipient of a 2022 NEA grant in fiction, and his short stories have been anthologized in the Best American Short Stories, The Pushcart Prize, Best American Erotica, and Best American Mysteries series. He also publishes crazy, DIY books.
