Writer's Digest January/February 2023 Cover Reveal!
We often hear the phrase “think outside the box,” but tools inside the box exist for a reason. Think: happily-ever-afters in romance novels, mysteries that are solved at the end of the book, querying techniques that haven’t changed even as they moved from snail mail to email, poetic forms to guide your verse. We’ll explore proven ways to find success in 2023.
This issue’s articles include The WD Interview: Neil deGrasse Tyson: The world-renowned astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium shares why storytelling is crucial to his work and the inspiration behind his new popular science book, Starry Messenger. By Zachary Petit.
