Pamela Feinsilber: Secrets of Narrative Nonfiction/Feature Writing October 12, 2010

Today's nonfiction uses the techniques you find in fiction: vivid description, characterization, dialogue, scene setting, narrative arc, point of view. We'll discuss all that and more with our guests: travel writer Jeff Greenwald ('Afar' magazine; 'Snake Lake'); Ethan Watters ('Crazy Like Us;' 'Urban Tribes'); former 'Examiner' feature writer Burr Snider, and Katharine Mieszkowski, who writes for online publications. Bring the beginnings of a potential magazine feature or book to the first meeting.
