Prose Notes is back for another semester! We have new Consultants (Aadi Sharma and Adam Kellogg) and new insights for KU Grads in this episode on "how good writers get good." We cover tips on reading, note-taking, writing, and editing. Hopefully you can take one strategy from this conversation to add to your writing toolbox!

In this episode Eden, Nolan, and Samantha (all three hosts!) discuss their experiences with Imposter Syndrome, how graduate students can navigate these feelings of self-doubt, and some strategies for combating imposter syndrome!

In this episode Eden interviews her very own dissertation advisor, Dr. Paul Laird! They discuss the book writing process--which is incredibly similar to the dissertation writing process--and how research involves a lot of cutting details, and writing involves cutting a lot of words. In this sprawling interview, we hope that you learn that all writing is editing, and that your ideas are worth publishing!
