Interview: Terry McMillan



Terry McMillan, author of Getting To Happy, offers advice to young authors.

"I tell a lot of young writers that they should be more concerned about their stories and characters than being famous and even getting published, because when they're ready they will be published," she said in the final installment of our Media Beat interview. "Too many of them now all they think about is how much money they're gonna make, being famous, getting on The New York Times, that's their goal. And that's such a phony, superficial, shallow goal to have as a reason for writing."
