Episode 10 - How Eleanor Henderson Writes
•
Hosted by Brian Murphy
Today’s interview is with Eleanor Henderson, author of Ten Thousand Saints and The Twelve-Mile Straight. I loved my talk with Eleanor, especially for the number of practical, useful ideas she gave me. In the podcast, you’ll hear me react live to an exercise she has her writing students run through that I had to work on staying present in the interview because I just wanted to think about how I could apply it to my book. Do you know that feeling? Where you hear something so good it steals your attention? There are tons of moments like this during the interview.
Thank you again to Eleanor for her time and wisdom. And now, here is the interview with Eleanor Henderson.
