Top Ten Writer Inspirations

I don’t necessarily set out to copy these writers, but they’re the ones who have motivated, enchanted, and enriched me as a reader. They’ve shaped the kind of work I want to create, and, in different ways, influenced my voice and style.

1. Stephen King

2. Roger Ebert

3. Nathan Rabin

4. Shirley Jackson

5. John Scalzi

6. Jenny Lawson

7. Emily Nussbaum

8. Dorothy Parker

9. George Orwell

10. Shea Serrano

Oh, I know I said “top ten,” but obviously Ray Bradbury belongs here too. Top Tens are hard.
