Book description
This inspiring collection of 19 essays from veteran news writers
explains how to weave storytelling skills into nonfiction narratives.
Journalists of all backgrounds and levels of experience will discover
dozens of exercises that have been tested successfully in newsrooms,
workshops, and classrooms, and will cover everything from the
fundamentals of reporting, writing and revising to more specialized
elements like creating rhythm, cadence, and voice; employing dialogue
and scene-building; and such devices as foreshadowing, symbols, and
metaphors. Contributors are all veteran journalists, including Mark
Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down, and several Pulitzer Prize-winners.
