Episode 55: Choosing the Next Project with Mark Oppenheimer

We’re talking with Mark Oppenheimer, author, professor, podcaster, and editor of the online journal Arc: Religion, Politics, Et Cetera, about a varied writing career defined by openness to the next interesting project (one of those current projects is writing Judy Blume’s biography). We talk about writing a great sentence; how academics can best position their research and ideas for the popular press; when a university press is the best option for a project; writing biography; rejection; how to teach writing; and the freelancing life.
