Thank you, Lauren Groff

July 18, 2018

From a Harvard Gazette interview with fiction writer Lauren Groff, whose most recent book is the short-story collection Florida:

GAZETTE: You are a mother of two. In 10 years you have produced three novels and two short story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?

GROFF: I understand that this is a question of vital importance to many people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked this question, I’m going to respectfully decline to answer it.​

So many good ones to choose from–but if indie publishing intrigues you, check out my dear friend Anne Trubek‘s weekly newsletter “Notes From a Small Press.” Anne’s the founder of Belt Publishing, and in “Notes” she shares what really goes into making and marketing books. It’s fascinating and well worth your time.
