“Show don’t tell” is probably the most famous advice given to writers. But. . . we don’t necessarily agree. In our final episode of our deep dive into publishing, we tackle advice: How do you give it? When do you not? Our hosts tell us about the advice they wish they followed and the things they don’t tell their students. Also: Mary Robinette teaches us a trick about puppet fingers. Homework:Write a letter to yourself a year ago describing what kind of skills are they going to need in order to confront the challenges that are coming.We've finished our 8 episode deep dive into Publishing Is Hard!
