What David Perell makes

Topics writing, authors, publishing, creative process, literature

Before book sales and PR buzz, your favorite writers began with two things: the blank page and an idea. Each week on How I Write, we go behind the scenes with today's top writers to uncover the meta-mechanics of writing and the lifestyle behind it. You'll be the first to hear writers deconstruct their creative process, from banging their heads on the keyboard to marking the last period of their final draft. Victory. Come discover how great writing is made. And who knows? Maybe you'll be next. New episodes of the How I Write show go live every week on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
