The Interview

For Full Editorial submissions. Express Profile submitters may skip ahead to the Media section. Please answer as fully and freely as you wish.
Tell us your origin story as a writer — not the official version, but the real one. The book that changed everything, the place that first demanded to be written about, the moment you understood this was not optional.
Walk us through your development as a writer — the influences, the early work, the failures, the teachers, and the period when everything started to become what it is now.
Place is a character in the best writing. Which location — a city, a country, a room, a landscape — has most profoundly shaped your writing, and how does it live in your work today?
Tell us about a journey that went into a book — or that should have. What did you have to go somewhere to understand?
Your current work is set in, inspired by, or in conversation with a specific place. Why that place, why now, and what did you discover there that you couldn't have invented?
The relationship between research and imagination is one the best writers navigate carefully. How do you know when you have been somewhere long enough — and when the writing has to take over?
Tell us about a scene, a chapter, or a passage that surprised you — that arrived differently than planned and became something essential.
Travel writing in all its forms is having a complicated moment. What do you think the genre owes its reader, and where do you think it has let them down?
Who are the travel writers, novelists of place, or storytellers of the world that have most influenced you — and what did they teach you that you carry into every book?
What is the most important thing a writer can do to render a place honestly — to make a reader feel they have been somewhere without reducing it?
Tell us about a collaboration — with a photographer, an editor, a translator, a local voice — that made the work better than you could have made it alone.
What does the next generation of writers most need to understand — about craft, about travel, about the long and uncertain work of building a body of writing?
When you travel not to write but simply to be somewhere, what kind of traveler are you? What do you look for, and what do you allow yourself to miss?
Luxury means something different to every writer. For some it is time; for others it is silence, or access, or the right hotel with the right light. How do you define it — on the road and on the page?
What is coming next — a new book, a new journey, a new obsession? What has your full attention right now?
What is the question no one ever asks you about your work — the one you have always wanted to be given? Ask it here, and answer it.
