Who puts pep in your step?

It’s time for the great, grand pep talk poll! Has your favorite writer 1) written a novel, and 2) not yet contributed a pep talk? If so, they should totally write a pep talk for the 300,000 Wrimos who will be dashing out the rough draft of their novel this November!
I’ve asked the staff whose pep they’d love to receive (their top picks are below). Now it is your turn to tell us what novelists’ writing advice you’d most love to read.
Take a look at our pep talk archive (and the photos above!) to see who has already written a pep talk in the past. Then post your top picks in the comments below! We’ll do out best to get as many yes answers from your faves as we can.
Here are the staff’s picks:
- Zadie Smith
- Chang-rae Lee
- Jennifer Egan
- Kevin Wilson
- Joshua Ferris
- Dana Spiotta
- Hannah Pittard
- Tupelo Hassman
- Jonathan Franzen
- Karen Russell
- Chad Harbach
- Patrick Rothfuss
- Peter Orner
- Noah Hawley
- George RR Martin
- Kathryn Stockett
- Stephen Hely
- Robert Olen Butler
- Charles Yu
- William Gibson
Who’s on your list?
