J298 Writing the Non-Fiction Book
Narrative writing requires not only accurate, conscientious reporting, but carefully thinking out your storytelling strategy. Good storytelling is the foundation of catching people’s attention in film, radio, TV and other media. In this course, we will work with the older medium of the written word. If you want your readers to stay with you for a newspaper feature story or a full-length magazine piece, you have to learn what good storytellers have been doing for thousands of years to make people sit up and listen.
