Alan Seltzer is an Associate Editorial Page Editor. He spoke with Noel Duan about her column running alternate Thursdays. Check out Sorry I'm Not Sorry from Thursday's paper.
AS: Noel, first off thanks for getting up at 5 a.m. local Paris time to talk to me. Tell me a little about your column this semester. What's your theme and how do you think your experience abroad will influence your view and your voice in your writing?
ND: De rien! My column You Write Like a Girl is a response to the "superficial" stigma attached to stereotypically female-centric writing, such as writing about fashion and dating. Growing up and wanting to be a writer, I've noticed that certain genres of writing or journalism are stigmatized and taken less seriously.
