Interested in journalism and creative writing and want to write a book? Read inspiring stories and practical advice from America's most respected journalists.

The country's most prominent journalists and nonfiction authors gather each year at Harvard's Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism. Telling True Stories presents their best advice--covering everything from finding a good topic, to structuring narrative stories, to writing and selling your first book. More than fifty well-known writers offer their most powerful tips, including:

- Tom Wolfe on the emotional core of the story
- Gay Talese on writing about private lives
- Malcolm Gladwell on the limits of profiles
- Nora Ephron on narrative writing and screenwriters
- Alma Guillermoprieto on telling the story and telling the truth
- Dozens of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists from the Atlantic Monthly, New Yorker, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and more . . .

The essays contain important counsel for new and career journalists, as well as for freelance writers, radio producers, and memoirists. Packed with refreshingly candid and insightful recommendations, Telling True Stories will show anyone fascinated by the art of writing nonfiction how to bring people, scenes, and ideas to life on the page.

Less than a week of use and peeling
Color: Black (Passcase), Color: Black (Passcase)
I got this as a gift for my husband and he used it for less than a week and the edges are already peeling. It seems more plastic than real leather. Very disappointing for the price. Would not expect this from Carhartt as their quality is typically very good.
