I'm late to the appreciation party, but everyone who works with fiction writers should read Craft in the Real World by Matthew Salesses. There are so many big and important ideas in this book. It challenges our ideas of craft and illuminates how they're tied to culture and power. As an editor who works with magical realism and genre-bending fiction, digesting these ideas will help me better support writers.

@KimSchebler I read this last month and LOVED it too.
@eliotedits Woo! Right?! I was impressed with how many truly noteworthy ideas were in this book—many of which I had never considered before, which was so exciting!
@KimSchebler sounds intriguing
@JonSparks I highly recommend giving it a read! :)
@KimSchebler I am on the lookout, will see if local library has it.
