Yet writers searching for guidance on reporting and writing true stories have had few places to carefully turn for suggestions. Right now in Storycraft, Jack port Hart, a previous managing editor of the Oregonian who led many Pulitzer Prize-winning narratives to publication, delivers exactly what will about Storycraft: The Complete Guide to Composing Narrative Nonfiction (Chicago Manuals to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) certainly end up being the definitive guidebook to the techniques and mechanics of crafting narrative nonfiction.
Hart addresses what writers in this genre need to find out, from understanding tale theory and framework, to mastering point of view and such fundamental elements as scene, action, and character, to drafting, revising, and editing and enhancing function for publication. Disclosing the stories behind the tales, Hart brings listeners into the process of developing non-fiction narratives by writing guidelines, anecdotes, and recommendations he forged during his decades-long profession in journalism. Following that, he expands the dialogue to other well-known writers showing the broad range of texts, designs, genres, and media to which his assistance applies.
