With this concise yet rich compendium of ideas, terms, and techniques, you'll be equipped with the knowledge needed to write creative nonfiction with verve while staying faithful to your story. A valuable tool for anyone looking to refine their craft, Keep It Real is a must-have resource for writers of memoir and narrative nonfiction.
