Why one professor thinks so and is trying to blend the art and science behind creating and editing art on a page. It s a skill, it s not an art, shared Brendan Reichs, a New York Times bestselling author of more than fifteen books across the young adult genre. Some authors or readers think the ideas and words naturally come to them from the sky. But the truth is every author works their butt off to get there you write bad drafts then you revise and revise and revise.
Reichs made the unlikely leap from a litigation attorney to authorship and is adamant that there is much more skill and effort that goes into writing than any innate talent.
