Writerland is a newsletter from The Delacorte Review whose mission is to help writers tell the stories they need to tell. I stopped writing six years ago. I was planning to work on a new book but was advised by my agent that the book, which he might have been able to sell before the upheavals caused by digital disruption upended the publishing industry, was now something he didn't even think worth trying to shop. I wrote a couple of long magazine pieces and then, assuming my writing career had effectively come to a close, turned in 2013 to publishing, creating with my colleagues a nonfiction publishing platform we called The Big Roundtable, the precursor to the Delacorte Review. I wrote one short piece in 2015 about luring my daughter into the emotional purgatory that is being a New York Mets fan. But otherwise, not a word.
