On READ TO ME, we practice the most fundamental skill of writing — how to listen for what works on the page. And then understand why! In this live episode, recorded in front of a Texas audience, I read from "The Wit and Wisdom of Ann Richards" by the incomparable Molly Ivins. It's an amazing piece about regionalism and racism and sexism and the power of the woman to prevail above what's expected of her. We listen for Ivins genius — to be funny, devastating, brilliant, and casual in every sentence. READ TO ME podcast is supported by READ TO ME Literary Arts. Here, you get the space, time, community, and method to grow as a writer and a reader. You have a gift, no matter how much you doubt it. Now's the time to use it.
