At Beyond the Book you’ll find a podcast featuring award-winning columnist and author of the book, “The Art of Column Writing: Insider Secrets from Art Buchwald, Dave Barry, Arianna Huffington, Pete Hamill and Other Great Columnists.” It’s just under and hour long and she talks about a variety of topics, including dealing with writer’s block and how she became a syndicated columnist herself with GateHouse News Service. If you’ve thought about trying to write a column, this is a great introduction. You can also have a look at columnists.com (the site of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists) for more information.
