Write the thing you're obsessed with and not what you're expected to write. Write for yourself. - Shashi #FOLD2025

Read poetry, that's the secret - JES #FOLD2025

Tips for new writers - love revisions, look at them as best friends and love to do it. Primarily I thought it was frustrating, but now I see revision as the place where the story comes into being - Iryn #FOLD2025

On what short stories can't do what novels can is potentially immerse you in a world or character. There's certain things that the nature of a novel encapsulates you while reading can't be replicated - JES #FOLD2025

Shashi recommends BULLET IN THE BRAIN as well! As does Jack Wang. A masterclass of craft, as it has so many different compressions of time and language. #FOLD2025

JES recommend's Tobias Wolff's BULLET IN THE BRAIN and Kafka's METAMORPHOSIS #FOLD2025
