Tk With James Scott

KELLY J. FORD revised and sharpened her debut novel, COTTONMOUTHS, in Grub Street's Novel Incubator program with our second guest, MICHELLE HOOVER. She and James talk about crappy drafts, depression, the woods vs. the forest, coming out narratives, and tents full of mannequin parts. She also describes her process, including using formulas and borrowing the scaffolding of other narratives. Then James asks Michelle about novel writing and workshopping.     -  Kelly J.
