Every writer is desperately trying to finish something that could so easily fall apart, and Neal Noakes knows it better than most. A week before releasing his thirteenth book, We Will Not Survive, he sits down with us to talk about what it really takes to keep going: the years of revision, the cruel messages from scammers, and the warm comfort of a community that shows up when you need it. It’s honest, it’s funny, and it’s a reminder that behind every book on the shelf is someone who nearly didn’t make it to the last page.
The book’s title is a promise, and Neal doesn’t flinch from it. We talk about fear that feels earned, about hope pushing against a very bleak outlook, and why the people we love are usually the reason we keep writing.
