Description

Josiah DeGraaf, fantasy author and Program Director of the Young Writers Workshop, shares how growing up homeschooled as the oldest of nine shaped his creativity, why constraints and a supportive community help creatives thrive; his journey from teaching high school English to helping young writers, and what fiction writers can borrow from classical rhetoric and reader-first marketing to serve readers with stories of hope.
