I've been sampling stuff from this book, TELLING TRUE STORIES, off and on for more than a year now. It makes a great "in-between-books" book, because the essays herein are all about writing - of all kinds: narrative reporting, researching, rewriting and editing, finding your own true voice, etc. The book would be an excellent textbook in any creative writing program. The contributing writers include famous writers and many not-so-famous, but still skilled professionals all. Some of the names you'll recognize are: Nora Ephron, Tom Wolfe, Susan Orlean, David Halberstam, Gay Talese, Tracy Kidder and Katherine Boo. Editors Wendy Call and Mark Kramer do a masterful job of categorizing and extrapolating the essays. A worthy collection of thoughts on writng and getting published from a wide spectrum of writers. Well done. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
This is a collection of inspiring stories and practical advice from America's most respected journalists. The country's most prominent journalists and nonfiction authors gather each year at Harvard's Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism. This work presents their best advice, covering everything from finding a good topic, to structuring narrative stories, to writing and selling your first book. More than fifty well known writers offer their most powerful tips, including: Tom Wolfe on the emotional core of the story, Gay Talese on writing about private lives, Malcolm Gladwell on the limits of profiles, Nora Ephron on narrative writing and screenwriters, Alma Guillermoprieto on telling the story and telling the truth. Also included are dozens of Pulitzer Prize winning journalists from the Atlantic Monthly, New Yorker, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and more. The essays contain important counsel for new and career journalists, as well as for freelance writers, radio producers, and memoirists. Packed with candid and insightful recommendations, these essays will show anyone fascinated by the art of writing nonfiction how to bring people, scenes, and ideas to life on the page.

There are many parts that read like a textbook; again, not surprising since this book is a guide. I would recommend this book to those who want to improve their writing, whether it be creative fiction or non fiction. ( )
