Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
Guest Host Kim MacQueen interviews Sameer Pandya, whose new novel is Members Only (Mariner Books).
Sameer Pandya’s novel Members Only concerns Raj Bhatt’s enjoyment of and desire to fit in at his posh tennis club. This week’s Write the Book Prompt is to write about a character feeling out of place. Whether this place is a school, work, a club or maybe an old group where fitting in never used to be a problem, what hurdles have to be overcome? Who or what presents the obstacles to feeling like a part of things, and how does your character cope - well, poorly? Do her goals change? Does he capitulate?
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
