Many writers dream of moving to one of the big cool culture cities to make it. New York. L.A. Portland. Seattle. Increasingly, Austin. But not all of us can live there, for whatever reason. Some of us live in itty bitty rural hamlets, and we’re happy there. Some of us live in cities with a terrific cultural scene, but the city gets overlooked for being in a landlocked state. And some of us live in terminally uncool towns like Albany. But it’s not impossible to thrive as a writer outside of New York City. You can, and should, still pursue your art, wherever you live. Joining us from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is Cassidy McCants, editor of Apple in the Dark, member of the New Haven Independent Review Crew.
