Tell It Slant: Writing and Shaping Creative Nonfiction

Plot

Tell It Slant introduces, explores, and teaches the art of writing creative nonfiction - from the memoir to investigative reporting. The book's title alludes to a popular Emily Dickinson poem: "Tell all the truth but tell it slant." Tailoring the book to writers looking for intensive writing instruction and an abundance of writing exercises, the authors teach writers to generate new material and shape it in innovative ways. There are many books available in the writing/reference section for poetry and fiction writers, and Tell It Slant will finally fill that empty niche for aspiring non-fiction writers
