“Clarity is the goal I want to be working toward. The more clear a piece of writing is, the more honest it feels.” —Bronwen Dickey (@BronwenDickey)
Ever feel like a garden gnome without a garden? That’s why I started this racket in 2013. This is the Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the show where I talk to badass writers, filmmakers, and producers about the art and craft of telling true stories.
Today’s guest returns for her third time. It’s Bronwen Dickey, author of Pit Bull: The Battle Over an American Icon. She is LITerally, my best friend even though we’ve never met in person. She was so sweet. She asked about my baseball book as soon as she came on the phone and indulged me for almost seven minutes. So naturally I cut it.
BUT…this is more a conversation than an interview. This is what I imagine it would be like if Bronwen and I sat down at a pub here in Eugene, Oregon and talked shop. I hope you feel like you’re eavesdropping on a couple of pals. As you know, I hate hearing myself talk so this was a painful edit.
After that ringing endorsement, are you subscribed to the show? Be sure to do so wherever you get your podcasts. Ping me on Twitter @BrendanOMeara and @CNFPod to keep the conversation going.
You are the social network, so share the show with a CNFer you think will dig the show. And if you’re feeling like sending an early Valentine, head over to iTunes and leave a rating or review.
