Business Design +6Literature Photography +10How to Write Engaging Creative NonfictionJennia D'Lima Book EditorHow can writers take stories based on facts and make them just as engaging as the best fictionalized narrative? Is that even possible? As multiple bestsellers in the nonfiction genre have demonstrated, the truth is often more fascinating than fiction. However, this requires more than merely stating the facts; instead, the author can look to fiction for finding ways to spark an emotional connection, grab the reader’s interest, and create a story out of information that may not fit neatly into a linear time frame. The session will cover the main elements that can be borrowed from narrative fiction, how and when to incorporate them into your creative nonfiction manuscript, and how to weave pieces together into a cohesive whole.
