A little announcement: Soon, probably next week, I will be officially hanging out my shingle as a freelance editor and writing coach. As a way of introducing my services to the world, and offering some thanks for the support you all have given me over the years, I’d like to offer three of you a free coaching session. We can talk about a particular project, work through ways to get past writer’s block, or deal with any other writing issue that’s affecting you.
I’ve been so busy the last several days I forgot to put up a link to this interview I did with a writer from Vice. Check it out!
I’m happy with the interview overall. Though I should point out that my comments were edited somewhat, and there are a few places where the writer removed some of the context and/or simplified what I said by removing some qualifying statements. Thus, for example, where I talk about how rape threats towards men have less of an impact, I don’t want to suggest that no men outside of prison fear rape; obviously that’s untrue, and obviously there are many men outside of prison as well as inside who have been raped. What I was trying to say — and what I suspect would be much clearer in the unedited transcript of my interview — is that the typical (straight, cis) man outside of prison doesn’t spend much time worrying about rape, and is much less likely to take rape threats seriously than women, who have every reason to take them much more seriously.
Anyway, that caveat aside, check it out.
