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 “Gender Studies” by Curtis Sittenfeld. How can a stereotype become a nuanced and unexpectedly deep character? How can a character who doesn’t understand their own desires affect or drive a story? Why do we write in the present tense?
We also mention (and spoil) “Cat Person” by Kristen Roupenian.
