Joseph interviewed Amy Jo Swing as part of WRIT 2106 Minnesota Writers: Reading Like a Writer, a course which introduces Writing majors to Minnesota writers. In addition to studying their published writing, the students also learn about their composing processes and the processes of publishing their works. The long term-goal of the course is to help students begin positioning themselves as a Minnesota Writer.
