S04E11 #AI in the creative process with Ana Menendez

Award-winning author Ana Menendez is called “a triple-threat” by Don in our 4thSunday Long Read podcast—she’s been a reporter, a columnist and is now a full-time fiction writer (and, last week, Ana was guest-curator of the SLR). In their 40-minute conversation, Don and Ana discuss their shared early days at The Miami Herald and the inspiration and writing tips of a joyous, Pulitzer Prize-wining editor named Gene Miller; the joys and difficulties of writing (and re-writing); the music and rhythm of the finest prose (and its poetic origins); and the wisdom and folly of reviewing one’s own work 10 or 15 years later.Also, special thanks to Justin Morris for providing our new intro music.
