Sarah Vowell
Her voice is like no one else’s, and so is her writing: Sarah Vowell has a new book releasing on October 20: Lafayette in the Somewhat United States. What questions would you ask her about life, writing, and what made Lafayette such an irresistible subject for her book? If I use your question during the interview, you’ll get a copy of her new book free!
Your writing deals with historic events, but you also weave in much of the personal. How do you decide what personal information to share and what to edit out? Is there a secret ratio of personal to historic you use?
