The New York State Writers Institute and WMHT-TV produced The Writer documentary episodes, which portray a condensed view of conversations and readings with our visiting writers. Filmed material from public readings, informal seminars, and private interviews are edited to produce the "distilled essence" of the writer. Quick edits, diverse locales, and off-camera interviewing techniques combine to keep the pace fast, the ideas stimulating, and the writer in the audience's eye.
