Fiction that has been annotated by fiction writers

Annotations of the writers, by the writers, for the writers.

Annotation Nation was founded by fiction writers Kate Maruyama and Diane Sherlock. In annotating books for their MFA program in Fiction, Kate and Diane examined books in terms of craft. These aren’t reviews (although you will hear definite opinions expressed) or critical essays, but a closer look at writing, answering questions such as, “What made that so great?” “Why didn’t this work for me?” or, more importantly, “How’d they do that and how can I use it in my own writing?”
