A few weeks ago I received an email from author Kate Belew who asked me and a small group of writers I deeply admire to give writing advice for her students. She is currently in northern Michigan, teaching poetry to middle schoolers at Interlochen Center for the Arts. Many of them had asked her for advice on creating a writing life as they continue their studies and hopefully someday begin careers as artists. I was honoured and want to share with you what I shared with these young students. I hope it serves you in a way you didn’t expect!
Dear students,
I’ve been sitting at my desk all day to try and find that one great piece of advice.
