David Jón Fuller on Bringing the Theatre into the Novel While Writing VENUE 13

In this episode of Writing the Wrong Way, Dr. Jonathan Ball talks with novelist and actor David Jón Fuller about his new book Venue 13 (Turnstone Press), a haunted-theatre novel set in Winnipeg’s summer festival scene.

They discuss how David built the book like a five‑act play, blending prose, script formatting, stage directions, and monologues that break the fourth wall. The conversation ranges from pantsing vs. outlining, to character-first story design, to the nuts-and-bolts of revision with editors and critique partners.
