Wise words from debut novelist Kate Broad! Read the rest of our interview at the incredible @splitlipthemag.bsky.social !
I was Kate’s editor at @therumpus.net , and speaking to her about her debut was enlightening! Short story authors making the leap to novel writing should seriously engage with her insights.
Check out this amazing issue including my interview with debut novelist Kate Broad! We discuss building characters, writing social critique, the retrospective narrator, and much more.
At least once every few days, I think about what we all lost when Jim Croce died in that plane crash. The man was 30 and had already written more enduring music than many of the greats that came after.

This is how I know I will meet all my literary goals. Eventually!
