I recorded this a couple of years back. I've made it a tradition to repost every September 11th in memorial to all those people who lost their lives that day. Never take your present moment for granted.

Andrea Carter Brown is the editor of The Washington Prize from The Word Works. She’s the author of several books of poetry, including The Disheveled Bed, Brook & Rainbow, and Domestic Karma. She’s won contests and her work has been recognized by The River Oak Review, Thin Air, and the Poetry Society of America, among others. Her latest book is called September 12. She’s a former resident of downtown Manhattan. On the morning of 9/11, she fled her apartment a block away from the World Trade Center amidst the destruction, not knowing if or when she would ever return.

The Story King Podcast

By most accounts, today's guest is considered to be America's Writing Coach, Roy Peter Clark!

For more than three decades, Clark has taught writing at the Poynter Institute, a school for journalists in St. Petersburg, Florida, considered among the most prominent such teaching institutions in the world. He graduated from Providence College with a degree in English and earned his PhD from Stony Brook University.

We discuss the current and future employability of writers, as well as many of his seminal works, like Writing Tools: 55 Essential Strategies for Every Writer. We talk about some of my favorite strategies from that book: cut big, then small, fear not the long sentence, vary paragraph length, and order words for emphasis. We also discuss his forthcoming book about writing college essays.

Writers don't want to miss this one!
