What do you want to write or edit?


Writing Commercial Fiction and Loving It by Holly Robinson

So for our upcoming discussion at FUSE on Wednesday, I thought we could talk about a more personal issue for us - why we want to write or edit, and specifically, what we want to write or edit. I suspect that for some us, that has changed since we started at Susquehanna through the influences of professors, personality shifts, or anything else.

As you read the opinion article from Publisher's Weekly, I would also like you to think about the following question: How does commercial fiction writing/editing compare with literary fiction writing/editing?

So check out this article by Wednesday, and hopefully we'll be able to have a lively discussion!
