Synopsis

Write About Now includes interviews with science writer Mary Roach, Secret Life of Bees author Sue Monk Kidd, designer Betsey Johnson, #1 New York Times bestselling author David Grann and so much more.

When Jonathan Small began interviewing bestselling writers for his podcast Write About Now, he didn't anticipate how moved and inspired he'd be hearing their origin stories. He wasn't alone, as listeners from around the world soon wrote to tell him it was their favorite part of the show. Now, at the beginning of each episode, Small asks his guests how they got started—and the result has been a treasure trove of revealing backstories.

In Write About Now, Small has curated these revelations into a book of surprising, insightful and heartwarming conversations with a mind-boggling list of the best of the best in journalism, fiction, non-fiction, illustration and more, all on topics not discussed elsewhere, including:

• Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z author Max Brooks on overcoming dyslexia
• NYT-bestselling author A.J. Jacobs on becoming a human guinea pig
• Killers of the Flower Moon author David Grann on flunking high school
• NYT-bestselling author Joyce Maynard on surviving a MeToo affair with J.D. Salinger
• Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz on opening for The Ramones
• The Nightingale author Kristin Hannah on quitting law to write books
• BuzzFeed culture writer Anne Helen Petersen on starting off on a dairy farm
• The Martian author Andy Weir on self-publishing a smash hit

Write About Now also includes interviews with science writer Mary Roach, Secret Life of Bees author Sue Monk Kidd, designer Betsey Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winner Matt Richtel and so much more.
