Notes From New York

This week I'm getting (slightly) personal and sharing the top 9 things that I think are non-negotiable if you want to be a writer in New York City. I cover things like how to find your author community, whether or not I think MFA degrees are worth it and the truth about author income. 

In this episode, I go over how to use the New York City subway system. I cover how much it costs to ride, break down different payment options, explain the difference between paying with a Metrocard and paying with OMNY, and share my best tips and tricks for navigating the system and staying safe.

It's the inaugural episode of Notes From New York, a podcast about thriving (or just surviving) in the Big Apple. On the maiden voyage, host Amita Parikh runs through her picks for celebrating Christmas in Manhattan.
