Author, professor, and social scientist JD Clapp has written and published many scientific articles. None of them, however, have provided the creative outlet needed that his poetry and fiction has.
In this episode of The Written Scene, JD talks about the flexibility of indie presses, having familiarity with a publisher before submitting, how the writing is different between a 25 year old and a 45 year old, separating fact from fiction in writing, what he means by academics shephard's pie and economy of expression, writing at least five days a week, being authentic to the voice of the character, reading stories outside of the genre you write in, why it's important to understand for publishers it's still a business, how it's easier to publish something but it's harder now to sell it, and much more.
