Episode 276: Liz Gorinsky
from Eating the Fantastic Hosted by Scott Edelman
Savor sweet and sour beets with Liz Gorinsky as we discuss whether either of us would have turned out as you know us without having grown up in New York, the early ambitions to be a comic book editor, the legendary comic book couple who were her childhood neighbors, whether or not there's any difference between editing fiction and non-fiction, how to gracefully navigate the convention community, the first edit letter which made Liz nervous, what makes Liz realize a manuscript shows potential, how to cleanse your palate when reading slush to be sure what you think is good really is good, self-defining success as a writer, what told Liz it was time to take on the publisher role, the appeal of immersive theater, why LARPing isn't acting, what we might have told James Joyce if we were editing Ulysses, the many reasons whatever you're doing you should be doing for love, and much more.
