In this episode, we talk short stories, in response to a listener request. We talk about reading (and not reading) short stories, how we use them in our own writing practice, and how nonfiction writers can get in on the game with essays.
You can listen right here on this page, or get Marginally on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or wherever get your podcasts.
