“I like to think about the genre, the essay or the memoir, as much as I enjoy writing within its fluid parameters. And teaching allows me to think about it, to articulate it, and to explore it.” ThinkingWritingEnjoyTeachingMemoirEssays Author:Jill Talbot
“One of my friends who writes novels says that once the book is published, it's a separate thing from you; it becomes its own. I feel that way when I read - and that applies to the experience of reading my work in public, too. The essays are a barrier between me and the audience, and it feels like a disappearing act. Poof! I'm gone, and the woman I've created on the page emerges.” WritingBookReadingNovelAudienceDisappearBarriersEssays Author:Jill Talbot
