DongWon Song, literary agent with HMLA, joins us for a Q&A on the elemental genre of "Issue." Here are the questions, which were submitted by the attendees at WXR '16:
\n
\n \t* Can only certain people tackle certain issues in certain stories?
\n \t* Science Fiction often explores issues by changing the context. Why does this work?
\n \t* How would you handle an issue story in short fiction?
\n \t* How do you make sure to research the issue enough without paralyzing yourself with the fear that you cannot do it justice?
\n \t* How do you\xa0convincingly write a position with which you disagree without convincing your\xa0readers that you\xa0agree with it?
\n \t* How do you write about a deeply personal issue without making it sound like a personal sob story?
