Counter Craft

Counter Craft is written by a working novelist breaking down the actual mechanics of fiction writing: structure, voice, pacing, with the specificity of someone doing the work, not just teaching it in theory. It skips the vague inspirational advice common in writing content.

Posts dig into specific craft problems, like how to handle backstory or build narrative tension, often using published books as concrete examples. Built for writers actively working on a manuscript who want technical guidance rather than motivation alone.
