The Anatomy of Curiosity

I loved this book. It's a collection of three short stories, but it's much more than that. Through footnotes, introductions, and afterwords the authors talk about how these stories came to be and their writing process. These are women that have written 'together' before; they critique each others' work, and provide emotional support; they've known each other for years. It's fascinating to me how each of these women work differently, but also how they do some things the same way. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in writing or the processes that go into writing. The stories are fantastic as stand-alones as well.

This is an absolutely fabulous collection! Not what I was expecting at all, but the author notes are amazingly done and incredibly useful, the stories are great demonstrations of each particular writing technique (characterisation, world building, etc) and will be awesome in class examples!! I will update with a link when it's posted closer to the publishing date,
