Franklin Leonard on what makes writing stand out—and why The Black List expanded from screenwriting into literary fiction.

This clip comes from THE BLACK LIST GOES LITERARY, a special Craftwork episode of Otherppl featuring my conversation with Franklin Leonard, founder and CEO of The Black List.

CRAFTWORK is the writing-and-craft arm of Otherppl. The Otherppl Craftwork Library is a growing members-only archive of in-depth conversations, writing instruction, and DeepDive courses featuring acclaimed writers, editors, agents, and other literary professionals.

🎧 To access the full Craftwork Library, go to http://www.deepdive.audio. You’ll be taken to the Otherppl Patreon, where you can join and start listening.

This episode is also available in the regular Otherppl podcast feed, but joining the Craftwork Library gives you access to the larger archive of writing and craft material.
