Better Read Millennials, Stephen King’s Ancestors, and a Piece of Writing You’ll Never See
Here’s a round-up of cool reading/writing news that I’ve come across recently and thought you’d enjoy too!
According to a new Pew Research Center Study, as Slate reports, Millennials are better read than previous generations.
No real surprise that James Patterson is the top-earning writer — coming in at $94 million this past year — according to Forbes’ list of top earning writers. And, of course, my super-hero Stephen King is also on the list.
Speaking of Stephen King…
He’ll be on “Finding Your Roots,” hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on September 23. Check your local listings!
And King has also done a recent interview in The Atlantic where he talks about teaching English…with great sympathy for teachers.
Onto another hero: Margaret Atwood. Unfortunately, you’ll have to live another 100 years before you get to read her new work. She’s agreed to write a piece for a time capsule-ish art project.

Jenny writes dark fiction that her mother hates. Her stories and essays have appeared in Across the Margin, Pantheon, Shimmer, Black Denim Lit, Skive, and others. When she’s not writing her own stuff, she’s reading mysteries for Criminal Element. When she’s not writing fiction or reviews, she’s writing/directing/performing/designing plays at Springs Ensemble Theatre.
I either need to live another 100 years or amass enough money to bribe the person with the key to the time capsule. Yeah, that's it.
