Our guest this week is Maggie Doherty, English Ph.D., teacher, New Yorker writer, and author of The Equivalents: A Story of Art, Female Friendship, and Liberation in the 1960s (https://maggiedohertyauthor.com). Doherty tells us about discovering her writing path in literary non-fiction after embarking on a doctorate in English. In addition to sharing her experiences with book proposals, agents, and writing deadlines, Doherty discusses the pragmatic considerations in choosing to write trade-press, non-fiction, and the challenges of creating a career around writing and teaching.
