How I Write

Shownotes Transcript

Kevin Kelly is one of the most important tech writers of the last half century.

Kevin started as the publisher and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of Steve Jobs’ favorite publications. After being mentored by Stewart Brand, he started writing books and magazine pieces before cofounding Wired Magazine. He has since become a prolific author - writing one feature article for Wired Magazine every year, and writing numerous bestselling books.

The man is full of mysteries. Kevin writes abundantly but types very slowly. He writes often but calls himself a reluctant writer. He constantly explores new ideas but actually likes editing more than writing.

Rare is the opportunity to sit down with the master who has decades of experience as a writer. This episode is a peek behind the curtain.
