Some readers of The Modern Library Writer’s Workshop have complained that the book is way too short on career advice. Well, I admit that’s true, but to be frank, maybe career advice should come from somebody with a different kind of career than mine has been.
I’ve recently read (absorbed) Lee Child for the first time. Now there’s a career! Here is a clip of the author of the Jack Reacher series giving what is, in my view, some of the soundest advice I’ve heard on what should go on between writers and publishers. Most of the interview is ho-hum: the life focussing remarks about success come in the last third or so. They are worth waiting for.
