Writer and native Idahoan Joshua Foster came to Houston a little over a year ago to work on a novel and on a PhD in the University of Houston’s Literature and Creative Writing Program. In this interview, Josh talks about his work and his writing practice, and why he became a writer. He also talks about a course that he’ll be teaching at Writespace, a writing center in Houston. The organization offers workshops and writing courses that are open to the public. Josh’s upcoming course, Intermediate and Advanced Fiction and Prose Writing, begins November 15th.
