Craft in the Real World: Rethinking Fiction Writing and Workshopping

"In this book, Matthew Salesses makes a bulletproof case for why we should dismantle the way that people are taught to write fiction. If you’re in the world of writing fiction, you’ve heard the word “craft” thrown around a lot. And loaded into that word are criteria for what makes good fiction. But Salesses explains that these criteria were formed long ago by no-longer-living white men and suggests they should be revisited. If publishing is a crapshoot, why not redefine what makes a story good?"
