Fiction writers from the Naples Writers' Workshop read successful stories and ask "Why Is This Good?"
We discuss how fiction works, the craft of writing, literary art, and what we can learn from examples of excellent writing.
Join us twice each month for our workshop podcast.
Why Is This Good? is hosted by Kristine Gill, J. C. Bronsted, and Rob Curtin.

In this episode, we discuss “Girls, At Play” by Celeste Ng. What lessons can we draw from a story with such a startling premise? Is there more to learn about perspective and point of view? How do our intentions for a story affect how the story ought to unfold and what readers are meant to care about? How can paying attention to how we feel as we read influence the way we write our own stories?
