The Story Will Save You
Pipeline Artists
In these usually-bite-sized episodes, we explore the nuances of writing and publishing from the perspective of authors, agents, editors, and those who haven’t quite yet broken in—and how, at the end of the day, it’s the art of storytelling that’ll save us (or obliterate our sanity into dust ... it’s a coin flip).
Hosted by Pipeline Artists' Ciara Duggan, Jeanne Veillette Bowerman and Matthew Joseph Misetich.

The Dreaded Yet Liberating Yet Still Kind of Unkind DNF (Did Not Finish)
The Story Will Save You
05/13/24 • 26 min
What makes a reader stop reading a book? As always, it depends.
Pipeline's Matt Joseph Misetich and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman explore what leads them to DNF (Do Not Finish) when reading material.
In fact, we coined a new phrase: "DNF Guilt." It's real. We have it. You might, too.
But the best way to combat guilt is with honesty. You can always count on us to drop the Hard TruthsTM.
