The Stuff Nobody Teaches You

  • How to Edit and Be Edited

    By Allegra Huston

  • How to Read for an Audience

    By James Navé and Allegra Huston

  • How to Make a Speech

“Deft, clear and charming, without a wasted word. The series, which might as well be subtitled ‘things writers are too embarrassed to ask about,’ fills a tremendous need in the lives of those who still live and die by the book.”

—Jonathan Lethem,
NYT bestselling novelist and professor of creative writing at Pomona College
