Collection: Wordsmith 1985 Series

Wordsmith tells the story of Clay Washburn, a penny and a half a word pulp writer trying to make it during the Great Depression.

Clay wants to write more “important” things, but the fates never seem to let him.

Told in a stark style that almost looks like line drawings and watercolor, Clay does not solve crimes or fight evil doers in his spare time, he just writes, and frankly spends a lot of time feeling sorry for himself for finding he has to work for the Pulps.
