"In Follow the Story, author and journalist James B. Stewart teaches you the techniques of compelling narrative writing."--BOOK JACKET.
"It is the indispensable guide to writing successful nonfiction books, articles, feature stories, or memoirs. Stewart provides concrete directions for conceiving, reporting, structuring, and writing nonfiction - techniques that he has used in his own successful books and stories. By using examples from his own work, Stewart illustrates systematically a way of thinking about and executing stories, a method that has helped numerous reporters and students become better writers."--BOOK JACKET.
"Follow the Story examines in detail: how an idea is conceived; how to "sell" ideas to editors and publishers; how to report the nonfiction story; six models that can be used for any nonfiction story; how to structure the narrative story; how to write introductions, endings, dialogue, and description; how to introduce and develop characters; how to use literary devices; and pitfalls to avoid."--BOOK JACKET.
"Learn from this book a clear way of looking at the world with the alert curiosity that is the first indispensable step toward good writing."--BOOK JACKET.
