I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.
"Sometimes a story emerges fully formed in your mind, and sometimes it’s an onion, requiring several ‘peels’ to get to the real, eye-watering heart of the matter."

If you're a writer, I'd go so far as to say it's essential reading to develop your craft, to dig deep into your characters and their emotions (as well as your own), and to go eyeball-close with your line edits!

Unexpectedly, it looks like my dystopian (utopian?) short story where the poor rise up and literally eat the rich is going to be published!
It's got millionaires bobbing around in lobster tanks, waiting to be selected by working-class children. Fun stuff (albeit not for the 'lobsters').

Yes, except each story was collaboratively written by myself and one other author (eleven in total), and the craft analysis post-story is also done by the same two authors. It was an absolutely project!
