  2. 7 Ways to Make a Small Story Feel Substantial

    I recently finished reading Wild Dark Shore, a literary climate thriller by Charlotte McConaghy. Its cast is small and geographically constricted: Widower Dominic Salt and his three children are performing one last task before shutting down the final scientific operations on soon-to-be uninhabitable Shearwater, a small island not far from Antarctica, when a woman washes up on the beach during a violent storm. Miraculously, she clings to life, and saving her will affect each of them in profound ways. Despite reading another wonderful novel in the meantime, I can’t stop thinking about this story.

  6. Anything Is Possible

    You can do anything. You can write a book. You can get an agent, if that’s what you want, a real powerhouse. You can get a great advance. You can click with your editor in a life-changing way. You can emerge from the editing process with a beautiful book, a wonderful book, a book readers will love. You can write a bestseller. Then you can write another one, a second book that readers embrace just as warmly as the first. You can do this over and over. You can be a career writer for the rest of your life.
    Is it hard to believe statements like this? Impossible? Well, in some cases, of course it is. Things like selling thousands of copies aren’t truly within our control. When I say “anything is possible,” I don’t mean it literally.
    But I want you to believe it, for yourself, just for a while.
