Where in the World Is A Writer’s Craft?
Seeing where A Writer’s Craft has been sold leads to insights and confirms my plans as I work toward a second edition.
A Writer’s Craft Transfer Is Complete
I’ve been chronicalling the transfer of my creative writing textbook A Writers’ Craft between publishers. When I signed the contract, it was with Palgrave, and by the time the book came out, they were officially part of Macmillan International Higher Ed, and it was soon shifted over to their imprint Red Globe Press.

This is a terribly horrific and sad week in America.

Where I’m Coming From: The Origins of My Workshop Practice
How A Writer’s Craft Can Be a (more) Anti-Racist Textbook, Part 3 Let me just put it out there: I’m a straight white guy, so you’d be justified in asking what right I have to write about anti-racist anything. My goal in writing this series of posts is not to co-opt the discussion or toContinue reading “Where I’m Coming From: The Origins of My Workshop Practice”
How A Writer’s Craft can be a (more) Anti-Racist Textbook, Part I
Let me just say, I’m reading The Anti-Racist Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom by Felicia Rose Chavez, and I’m looking forward to reading Craft in the Realy World by Matthew Salesses, two books that came out this year that are rethinking creative writing pedagogy in the light of anti-racism. I’ve read articles byContinue reading “How A Writer’s Craft can be a (more) Anti-Racist Textbook, Part I”
New Review of A Writer’s Craft
It’s always fun to find a mention of something you’ve done. The other morning, I came across a recent review of my textbook, A Writer’s Craft. As it turns out, a site called Lost In Book included it last month (Dec. 20, 2020) in their round-up of 7 Best Creative Writing Books for Beginners. ThanksContinue reading “New Review of A Writer’s Craft”
