How Writers Actually Improve Their Craft: Author Matthew Bockholt

Read Bloom by Matthew Bockholt - https://www.fablevine.com/ebook/bloom Author Matthew Bockholt joins today to dismantle some of the writing industry's most repeated advice. By drawing on his background in video games and marketing, Matthew explains why technique beats talent, why "just write every day" is doing new authors a disservice, and how genre stopped serving readers and started dictating what writers are allowed to create. We also dig into his cross-genre YA novel Bloom (pitched as "Twilight if Orson Scott Card wrote it"), why modern YA is failing boys, the death of sincerity in fiction, and his bold new indie publishing concept Fablevine. If you're an indie author, an aspiring novelist, or just someone who cares about where storytelling is headed, this one's worth your time. 🎬 Love this video?
