What a great interview, so much good advice to unpack. But then at 52;50 or thereabouts, we here “do they (first-time author) have an MFA from a prestigious program?” To which I say WTAF? Having browsed the back covers of many many books in my local bookstore, I can guarantee that having an MFA does not guarantee that you can write an interesting book. in fact, I have a feeling that the MFA system might explain why so much of literature these days is cursed with a stultifying sameness. So, agents, open your minds, there are talented people out there outside of the MFA system.

Yoho and Waterton Lakes National Parks in the Canadian Rockies. The wife and I hiked up a 1 in 5 trail to see trilobites, and visited the Lake O’Hara area, which we’d never hiked before. IT’s hard to describe how incredible these glacier-carved landscapes are. Imagine something that Peter Jackson would have CGI’d into a Lord of the Rings movie—except it’s real.
