Why Is This Good? is a podcast from the Naples Writers' Workshop in which we read successful stories and ask "Why is this good?"
Through our discussion, we hope to discover useful things to say about how fiction works, the craft of writing, and literary art. We try to find lessons for our own writing by closely examining well-written stories, and we hope to share some of those lessons with our audience.
Why is This Good? is produced in Naples, Florida by the Naples Writers' Workshop.
