Telling True Stories: A Nonfiction Writers' Guide
From the Nieman Foundation at Harvard
University,_
edited by Mark Kramer and Wendy Call.
In January 2007, Plume/Penguin will
publish our synthesis of five
years' worth of Nieman conferences. Fifty-two
of the country's
top writers and editors have generously
contributed their best
advice to Telling True Stories.
-- Katherine Boo champions "Difficult Journalism That's
Slap-Up Fun."
-- Nora Ephron offers "What Narrative Writers Can Learn
From Screenwriters."
-- Malcolm Gladwell challenges journalistic assumptions in
"The Limits of Profiles."
-- Alma Guillermoprieto weaves together "Telling the Story
and Telling the Truth."
-- Adam Hochschild, Jacqui Banaszynski and others debate
the finer points of "To Tape or Not to
Tape?"
-- Gay Talese shares insights from forty years of "Writing
About Private Lives."
-- Tom Wolfe describes "The Emotional Core of the Story."
More than ninety essays and short pieces take the reader
from story idea through publication, and
on to writing books and
building a career as a narrative writer.
Telling True Stories
is a must-have for classrooms, newsrooms,
and the shelf closest
to every nonfiction writer's desk.
