Writing friendships vary from casual acquaintances to “I’d take a bullet for this person’s work,” and mine with Nora Decter fits into the latter category. We were in the same pod for BookEnds, a novel revision fellowship designed for writers to work in threes. But our third podmate dropped the program, and it was just Nora and I. While I can’t speak for Nora, I found working just the two of us meant we got to go a bit deeper— we met every other week and swapped countless drafts. I doubt anyone will know my novel quite as intimately as Nora or that anyone will read hers as much as I have. And I’ll continue to read it because I love it so much.
