Description of talk: What’s Your Problem? The One Thing All Books Need to Succeed and Where to Find It.

Are you done with a draft and wonder how to write a strong revision? Do you know what the most important ingredient in writing a good book is and where it should be found?

In this craft talk I discuss the most common reason that books fail to find representation and readership -- the one element needed to break out. I will tell the story of how we learned this lesson the hard way in graduate school from the famous New Yorker writer and premier American experimentalist Donald Bathelme.
