"Essays took on this energy for me in part because they're unofficial and in part because they brought me in contact with the world that felt really generative," says Leslie Jamison.

Make It Scream, Make It Burn by Leslie Jamison is the occasion. It is published by Little, Brown.

Leslie is the bestselling author of The Empathy Exams and The Recovering. We dig into a lot of great stuff about her process and how she came to nonfiction from a background in fiction.

Thanks to Goucher College's MFA in Nonfiction, Bay Path University's MFA in Creative Nonfiction and River Teeth for the support.
