“We talk a lot about people needing to tell different kinds of stories, which I think is really important,” Ng says. “I've been very fortunate that I had people behind the scenes who also thought that, and who would champion me. So I've been thinking that one of the things we really need when we talk about adding diversity to the publishing world is not just on the writer end, but actually at every step of the process.”
Stereogum interviewed Sufjan Stevens.
Allie Rowbottom discussed her debut novel with The Millions.
Emotional exposition is the purview of the memoir form—feelings can be told in nonfiction (though I personally try to “scene” them as much as possible), whereas in fiction they should be shown. In other words, fiction should leave less space for characters to narrate their own motives, and more space for the audience to deduce those motives by interpreting the characters’ actions, which is satisfying and makes readers feel smart.
