Ep. 289: Kit Mayquist on How to Work Backward from the Dark Moment

Kit Mayquist uses a technique not often talked about: working backward, not from the end, but from the dark moment, and it's everything. A fan of everything spooky and indulgent, Kit Mayquist is a bisexual, trans masculine writer who can be found in the historic shadows of Boston, Massachusetts, hunched over his desk with a sullen Persian cat in his lap and surrounded by antiques. He has an MA in Medieval History from the University of Iceland, and a BA from Portland State University (and if you ask him, yes, Stumptown will always have the best coffee). Tripping Arcadia is his debut novel. How Do You Write Podcast: Explore the processes of working writers with bestselling author Rachael Herron. Want tips on how to write the book you long to finish?
