Keep It Real: Everything You Need to Know About Researching and Writing Creative Nonfiction

What are the parameters of creative nonfiction? Keep it Real begins by defining creative nonfiction. It explores the flexibility of the form - the liberties and the boundaries that allow writers to be as truthful, factual and artful as possible. A succinct but rich compendium of ideas, terms, and techniques, Keep it Real will clarify the ins and outs of writing creative nonfiction. Starting with the acknowledgement of sources, then running through fact-checking, metaphor and navel gazing, and ending with writers' responsibilities to their subjects, this book provides all the information writers need to write with verve while remaining true to their story.
