Description

Five stars for Tell It Slant … An enlightening, comprehensive, and very satisfying text on writing and shaping creative nonfiction.”
Sheila Bender, editor and publisher of writingitreal.com and writer of Writing and Publishing Personal Essays

When the poet Emily Dickinson wrote, “Tell the entire Truth but tell it Slant,” she provided as of late’s writers of creative nonfiction some sound advice: tell the truth but don’t develop into mere transcribers of day by day life. Whether you are writing a memoir or researched essay, the award-winning authors will guide you along the journey, the use of intensive instruction and an abundance of writing exercises. You are going to discover ways to find a distinctive voice, use prompts to get began and keep writing, discover stories in inconceivable places, tackle (and enjoy) background research, and more.

This second edition includes a new chapter on publication–print, digital; an update on “The Particular Challenges of Creative Nonfiction” chapter to include references to James Frey and other controversies regarding nonfiction ethics; and an expanded resource section and bibliography.
