Check out Sublime at https://sublime.app/?ref=perellElif Shafak has a way of writing that's lush and enchanted. She writes about real things in the world: water, houseboats, ordinary things that we stopped seeing. And she infuses them with life and wonder so that we can see the world fresh again.Elif has written more than 21 books, and she's the president of the Royal Society of Literature, which has had fellows like J. R. R. Tolkien, Rudyard Kipling, W.B. Yeats, and Margaret Atwood.You'll notice that her writing advice is different from what you normally hear. She wants to help you splash your personality onto the page, how to write with soul, and how to unlock your wild imagination to do it day in and day out until you're left with a finished piece of writing.About the hostHey! I’m David Perell and I’m a writer, teacher, and podcaster. I believe writing online is one of the biggest opportunities in the world today. For the first time in human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global audience. I seek to help as many people publish their writing online as possible.Follow meApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-write/id1700171470YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidPerellChannelSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DjMSboniFAeGA8v9NpoPvX: https://x.com/david_perell Learn more about your ad choices.
