Telling True Stories A Nonfiction Writers’ Guide from the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University, by Mark Kramer and Wendy Call (writing, nonfiction, Havard)

Nonfiction writing is also called “narrative journalism.” With a history of less than 100 years, it emerged between the 1950s and 1960s and was heavily influenced by the development of the Pulitzer Prize. In 2001, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University established the “Nieman Program on Narrative Journalism.” They collected the scripts from 51 writers’ speeches to create the book Telling True Stories: A Nonfiction Writers’ Guide from the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University, which will introduce us to nonfiction writing.
