Dinty W. Moore, an editor at Brevity and the anthology Best Creative Nonfiction, is interviewed by Matador Notebook on writers. He makes some interesting and useful points about the ever-branching taxonomy of specialized writers:

“But when these labels become barbed-wire fences, no one is served. A writer is a writer is a writer, and we are all using the same material: language. Sometimes I need to study the work of a good technical writer, or journalist, to learn a technique or approach. Other times I need to remind myself of what poets do.”
