Summary of Quarterly Review
- Begin writing with something you believe in, a truth that will surprise others.
- Write about something you are nervous to tell other people. Make yourself vulnerable.
- Place people at the heart of your writing, even if you are working on non-fiction.
- Don't worry about misquoting, or using a little poetic license.
- The more structured your writing, the more risks you can take with the expansiveness of your language.
- Good structure starts with a throughline.
- Spend more time planning than you want to. Spend at least 50% of your time noting and outlining.
- Listen to your readers. Make yourself approachable.
