Pulitzer Winning Professor Teaches Me Writing — Jayne Anne Phillips

I interviewed Jane Phillips who won the Puliter Prize for fiction for a novel called Nightw Watch. And what we did is

we dug into passages from her writing that are going to show you how she thinks about voice, character, and also

the poetry of great writing. And now, as you listen, I want you to notice something. I want you to notice how many

times Jane describes writing as a fullbodied experience. She sees the creative process almost like an

archaeologist would. Like feeling her way into the hidden and mysterious world of her own novel. So that sounds cool.
