Abstract: IN DECEMBER 2024, during a discussion on the International Society for the Study of Narrative’s (ISSN) mailing list, David H. Richter mentioned how, in his narrative theory seminars, he regularly encounters creative writing students interested in learning “how to harness the narrative toolbox in their own writing.”1 In response, several contributors shared how they more actively facilitated such needs, and, as Paul Dawson put it, “turned to narrative theory in order to [. . .] teach students the craft of fiction.”2 This—taking theory developed for narrative analysis and making it available for the production of narratives—lies at the heart of what we, in this special issue, consider applied narratology.
