Telling the Story


Book Description

Some of the best selling novels over the years--including In Cold Blood, All the President's Men, and Black Hawk Down--have something in common: they are true stories. This book teaches writers how to blend journalistic research with narrative techniques to produce works of nonfiction that read like novels. Rubie (a former BBC journalist) covers researching, writing, and selling narrative nonfiction; finding a subject; creating the skeleton of a book; and dealing with proposals, agents, and self-promotion. The book includes insight and interviews from top authors, agents, and editors including Peter Gethers (Random House) and Jack Hart (The Oregonian).
