#20 TNT Steven Genise: Artists Don't Have to Starve Is it possible, I ask myself, to survive as a freelance writer? ✏️ Side hustle might be part of the equation, but after talking to Steven Genise I'm at least a bit more confident. ✊ Listen and Read the Show Notes/Quotes here🌈: https://simplecast.com/s/1bd06c79 ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️ From Steves Blog: https://www.stevengenise.com/ 🤙 "Steven Genise is a freelance writer and editor based in Berkeley, California. He has done work for McSweeney's, The Believer, and Counterpoint Press, and on projects from authors such as Hilton Als, Karen E Bender, Miriam Toews, Gary Snyder, Dianne Williams, and others. As a writer, he was named in March of 2016 as one of Epiphany Magazine's Top 10 Best Writers Under 30, and is currently at work on his debut novel." His fiction work is also currently featured in Soft Cartel and Natural Bridge, which are both print publications. ✍️ In the interview we talked about Steve's time working in San Fransisco and what were some of his favorite parts of the city - as well as some of his least favorite. ☯️🌉 We brainstormed viable Side-Hustle gigs for people in transition between their day job and a full-time Art career. 💸 Then, as it is one of Steve's favorite topics, he summarized the current American publishing industry and explained how it has changed in the last 30 years. Very interesting an important information for anyone hoping to work in the writing world or even self-publish a book someday. 🤓 Thanks a bazzillion for listening to THE NOMAD THEORY!🌎 I'm A.C.
