The Stinging Fly have produced an article for their blog based around bad advice for writers. Luckily, I was asked to be one of the contributors.

Here is the short blurb for the article…

But one of the most difficult tasks is learning how to filter the good from the bad, and the useful from the not-quite-so-useful-at-the-moment. So we asked ten authors to share an experience of counsel that isn’t/wasn’t all that constructive.
