If you happen to be in Chicago on Thursday, March 1, please come hear me speak about creative nonfiction and truth on a panel called "What's Wrong with the Whole Truth?" We're on from 4-5:45. Information below.
(Susan Resnick, Philip Gerard, Peter Trachtenberg, Paige Williams)
Waldorf, Hilton Chicago, 3rd Floor
Many writers feel comfortable molding the truth to create a more satisfying story, yet still calling their piece nonfiction as long as the emotional core and basic frame of the work remain true.

These authors, journalists, and nonfiction professors will explore the philosophy of factual versus emotional honesty and discuss how to achieve both--beautiful and moving nonfiction writing that is 100% true.
