Lab Interviews

Our lab scientists pore over so much information, it's often a welcome respite to get face-to-face (or e-mail to e-mail) with somebody who's making it as a writer, especially one who once sat in the same semicircles at Columbia's Fiction Writing Department.

Besides alumni, we'll feature editors, writers, and anyone else in publishing who can help demystify the process of breaking into print, as well as provide specific information on the art and commerce of a writing career. We'll add to our line up periodically.


Playwright Rose Martula, recently named “1 of 50 playwrights to watch” in Dramatists Guild Magazine (July/Aug 07), speaks at length about her writing process and offers candid advice for aspiring playwrights. Her 23-point list of writing tips is gold for writers of any form.
