Philip Roth (and Steven Pressfield) on how to begin.

26 Jul 2024

Steven Pressfield shares a quote from Philip Roth on how to begin a novel, but the advice, I think, is useful for any new endeavor (especially when paired with Steve Albini's thoughts on process vs. result). Meanwhile, a third Steve (me) will be on vacation next week, so Read This will be on a brief hiatus until 8/5.

Read This is curated by Stephen Knezovich. Each issue shares resources and insights to help writers launch, improve & grow their email newsletter. This particular issue links to a blog posts by Steven Pressfield and Dan Sinker.
