author interview with @znnys.bsky.social is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration behind their piece “i always liked blueberries the best” and the importance of trust when it comes to the relationship between writers and readers.
“I think the most challenging thing about writing an unreliable narrator—and writing in general, really—can be when you're too worried about being misinterpreted. [...] Trust is the crux of it—you have to trust yourself as an artist to effectively share your vision, and you have to trust your reader's intelligence. That takes practice.” -zanny stohl

Interview live on the (s)crawl blog as well! I really enjoyed answering these questions. If you've ever wanted to pick the goth side of my brain, this is your chance!

And if you haven't read "Skull with Laurel, 1832" it's a perfect little poem for these cold dark days. scrawlmag.com/issues/issue...

learn more about the inspiration behind the piece “Skull with Laurel, 1832” and how we all experience “little deaths” in order to grow and shed old versions of ourselves.
"Life is in its own way a series of little deaths, and shedding these skins/releasing older versions of ourselves is what makes it possible for us to change and grow. I'm not the same person I was fifteen years ago, or even five years ago-and that's the way things should be." -rj aurand

author interview with @rlhendie.bsky.social is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her piece “The Dead Man” and how the use of humor as a technique—if the right balance is struck—can make horror elements even more effective.
"Even when there's zero physical danger, having something unwanted follow you around—gradually consuming your time/energy/strength to such a degree that you relent and accept it—can be real life-wrecker. Maybe there's a very good reason for accepting it. Maybe you've got no other choice but to accept it. Maybe you're just exhausted. But the end result is the same—now you're stuck with a dead man." -rachel henderson

author interview with sasha ravitch is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her experimental piece “the serpent finds eve in every lifetime; or, GARDEN REVISITED” and how her work in occulture and witchcraft informs her writing.
"The Book of Revelation has colonized my symbolic language without a clear or definable provenance. But can you write about queerness, about monstrous desire, about obsession, without calling the Devil or the Woman of the Apocalypse?" -sasha ravitch

author interview with chloe ho is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her piece “still life of womb” and how diction, alliteration, and internal rhyme come together to evoke the pain of menstruation.
"Subject matter naturally informs structure, definitely. Free verse comes the most natural for me, and I feel that it particularly suits "still life of womb" precisely because it's so loose, so unstructured. You re not particularly coherent when you're curled up immobile and trying to not literally cry out in pain, after all." -chloe ho

author interview with hannah madden is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her piece “My Disposal” and how she explores generational trauma through an everyday household appliance.
"In my story, I gave the garbage disposal a voice because it can often feel like we're being taken from more than we are willing to give up. At first it feels harmless, but as we are whittled down more and more, we realize that something has to change." -hannah madden
