2009 Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism: Telling True Stories in Turbulent Times

Coaching Short-form Narrative: A workshop for editors

Q: What’s a narrative writer without a great narrative editor?
A: A writer in trouble.
In this hands-on class, we’ll break down narrative structure, examine how stories are put together, and talk about the role of the editor in this complicated and messy process. Please bring your own real-life experiences and problems to discuss. (And remember: What’s discussed in the workshop, stays in the workshop. We'd like to keep this as real-world as possible.)
