Episode 005: INTERVIEW with Matt Bell

In this interview episode of The Velvet Podcast, Caleb J Ross interviews Matt Bell, author of The Collectors (Caketrain Press), Wolf Parts and the forthcoming How They Were Found, both from Keyhole Press. Matt’s short fiction has been published and anthologized just about everywhere and is forthcoming to Ninth Letter, the ML Press chapbook series, and Kill Author.

We talk about live-writing with an audience over at Everyday Genius, editing for The Collagist, teaching writing to fourth graders, and mucho more.

We welcome comments. We love them. We need them. You are free to leave comments here, but to really join the conversation, we invite you to post at this episode’s dedicated thread over at The Velvet Boards.
