Doggerel Diaries: Ben & Matthew's Literature Program
Ben and Matthew are American writers from Sharkey, KY and Albuquerque, NM, respectively, who live in Germany and talk about fiction, the writing and publishing process, and art and culture in general. Sometimes they get overly excited (in a positive sense), sometimes they are on the attack. Though, hopefully, they are more often than not insightful.

Writing Conferences, Language Gripes and Where You at, Kentucky?!!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Whether you think they're fun, supportive retreats perfect for honing your craft or just naked careerism, awkwardness and the commoditization of art , writing conferences are a fundament of modern writing. We discuss how to get in, why they help and also why they hurt and go into a few personal experiences. Plus, writing gripes, what we're listening to and Ben's mad at his home state of Kentucky.
