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.

How can we craft prose that lets the reader zip through the story? What can we learn from the prose of this story? What can we learn from the structure of this story? How can separating a story into sections help both the writing and the reading?
