The Extratextuals

Just a quick shout-out to the Adopt a Writer project put together by a coalition of TV bloggers. The idea is simple: because the mainstream media tend to be focusing only on big name writers, the writers end up sounding like whiney, greedy pigs (“JJ really needs more money, does he?”) … so they’re interviewing lesser-known, jobbing writers. The aim is to let readers get a better sense of the writers, why they write, what they’re striking for, etc. Neat idea, and the first writer to be “adopted”/interviewed is Jasmine Love. Go read.
