The Lab: Experiments in Writing Across Genre
About this ebook
Writers don’t need formulas; they need encouragement to take risks. The Lab offers a bold, hands-on approach, urging writers to embrace uncertainty, experiment with form, and investigate what haunts them.
The Lab features ten chapters and ninety exercises challenging writers to play with fiction, memoir, and poetry—or push toward hybrid or entirely new forms.
This is a book for those ready to dig deep and write fearlessly.
