on Career Authors:

Can you really teach someone to write?
That’s the question that has been debated since the first aspiring writer asked a successful author to show them how to tell a good story.
Indeed, teaching and writing often go hand in hand. Many famous authors have supported themselves by teaching the craft of writing until they break out onto the bestseller lists. We’re talking Joyce Carol Oates, Zadie Smith, Jamaica Kincaid, Jhumpa Lahiri, Neil Gaiman, and many, many more.
Surely, we could all learn something from the likes of these authors.
Thanks for posting, Chris and Paula. Your title intrigued me. I love Le Guin. Must check the post. Hugs.

Of course you can teach certain techniques, even creativity up to a certain point. You cannot teach talent, but you can refine that.
