Editor's Note:
Craft Chaps offers substantive essays by contemporary writers on creative writing practice. Each chap focuses on one aspect of craft and also contains a writing exercise and bibliography for further reading. They are freely downloadable at Sundress Publications and can be printed and stapled as 5x8 booklets.As creative writing teachers, we've been frustrated by the lack of affordable texts available for our students. Introductory textbooks from major publishers often include anthologies of creative work which significantly increase cost, while book-length works of aesthetic theory privilege one aesthetic perspective.Craft Chaps aims to democratize creative writing education through making this material accessible for use both inside and outside the academy. We also recognize that "craft" is not a neutral term, and seek to contextualize it within a range of aesthetic and cultural contexts. Through offering chaps from different perspectives and literary communities, we encourage students to resist "universal," often cis, white, male notions of "good" literature.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access ::how to write the book while not writing the book:: (Craft Chaps) by Wendy C. Ortiz. Crafted for the discerning reader.

Experience across all your premium devices with our high-fidelity digital format. Featuring cinematic typography, fluid layouts, and flawless rendering for an unparalleled reading session.
