The Craft: Essays on Writing from the Yale Writers’ Conference Faculty

by Marc Fitten

“A savvy, smart handbook for the digital age” —Brad Listi, founder of The Nervous Breakdown & host of Otherppl

The Craft is a new e-book series that provides writers the essential tools to sharpen their stories and essays. Volume I offers an exclusive glimpse into the Yale Writers’ Conference. Each craft essay was composed by a master teacher and is filled with expert advice and creative strategies to inspire writers.

The e-book form creates a layered web of instruction. Hyperlinks and linked-video expand the discussion about plot, voice, setting and the creative process. It’s an accessible and affordable resource for every writers’ digital library.

“The Craft is, flat-out, the coolest guide to the, well, the craft of writing that I’ve ever come across. It unfolds into a practical, laid-back companion for writers to lean on, offering not only great strategies, but counsel and sustenance as well.”
—Christopher Torockio, Eastern Connecticut State University
