The new "nonfiction"--the adaptation of storytelling techniques to
journalistic articles in the manner of Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe,
and John McPhee--is an innovative genre that has been awarded
virtually every Pulitzer Prize for literary journalism since 1979.
And now Jon Franklin, himself a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and
undisputed master of the great American nonfiction short story,
shares the secrets of his success. Franklin shows how to make
factual pieces come alive by applying the literary techniques of
complication/resolution, flashback, foreshadowing, and pace. He
illustrates his points with a close analysis and annotation of two
of his most acclaimed stories, so that the reader can see,
step-by-step, just how they were created. This lively,
easy-to-follow guid combines readability and excitement with the
best of expository prose and illuminates the techniques that
beginning journalists--and more experienced ones, too--will find
immensely helpful:
Stalking the true short story Drafting an effective outline
Structuring the rough copy Polishing like a pro and the tips,
tools, and techniques that will put your stories on the cutting
edge
