Interview with Mike Wilson

What was the first book you remember picking and reading by yourself?

A Chip Hilton sports series book by Claire Bee.

What writer(s) or book(s) influenced your decision to become a writer?
​
A poet, Jane Gentry Vance, influenced my decision to be a writer when I was a freshman in college.

Is there a writing craft book that you would recommend to new writers?

No. I would recommend poetry classes focusing on technique and studying the tricks of good TV and movie drama, including sound and visuals.

Is there a writer who has influenced your current writing style?

All of them.​

Why write flash fiction?

It's halfway between poetry and a short story, like a song.

What advice would you give someone who is just starting to send their work out to journals?

Give only a little importance to rejection and acceptance. What your writing does for you lasts longer than what it does for anyone else.
How many writers does it take to screw in a light bulb? 

One, provided they don't have an MFA.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

What you hear when you reach for the pen.
How will artificial intelligence change writing?

Bots smarter than us will become our audience.
