Interview with the Authors:

Q: So what makes Writers on Writing so special?
Kenneth W. Cain: What makes a compilation like this so great is getting advice from many different writers at all levels in their career. You get articles from established authors and also from those who are relatively new in their careers, and everything in between. That makes for a great mix of information, from which you can pick and choose what advice to incorporate into your career.

Q: Tell us more about you essay in Writers on Writing.
Stephanie M. Wytovich: My essay â€œBlunt Force Trauma: How to Write Killer Poetryâ€ talks about the catharsis of writing poetry, but does so in a step-by-step guide to plotting a good murderâ€¦and a great stanza or two. Readers will experience the emotional attachment that goes along with inserting mood and tone into their work, as well as watch the physical and mental binding that the poet/killer has with their poem/victim. Together weâ€™ll plot and weâ€™ll execute, and in the end, weâ€™ll see what consequences weâ€™ve reaped.

Q: Why should authors read Writers on Writing?
Kenneth W. Cain: If youâ€™re like me, youâ€™re always looking for ways to produce a stronger story. Itâ€™s not a preference, but a need, as I constantly evolve and reshape my words in different and new ways, all the while trying to retain a particular voice within my work. Itâ€™s about growth, and thereâ€™s no better source for this development than utilizing the experiences of your peers and colleagues. So when an opportunity like this comes about, to read of the experiences of so many great authors, Iâ€™m quite anxious to digest every bit of what they have to offer. Itâ€™s a great opportunity to grow as a writer, an education which I feel has no boundaries or conclusion.

Q: Do you have other non-fiction books authors should try out?
Stephanie M. Wytovich: Iâ€™m currently reading Horror 101: The Way Forward: Career advice by Seasoned Professionals and I read Many Genres, One Craft, while I was in graduate school and found it really helpful because it comes at writing from all genre perspectives rather than just horror, and as someone who firmly believes that itâ€™s crucial to read and study outside of oneâ€™s genre, I think this is a great book to have at the writing desk. Iâ€™d also be remiss if I didnâ€™t say On Writing by Stephen King because that book saved me from dropping out of graduate schoolâ€”twice!â€”and itâ€™s a wonderful instructive guide and pick-me-up that I think should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in becoming a writer.
