And I will make a very powerful argument for why learning to write effective nonfiction is valuable even if your interest as a writer is fiction, poetry, whatever genre. First of all, writing well is writing well. &#8230; I happen to think nonfiction is a great basic primer on writing because you&#8217;re working with the craft of fact, and using techniques to make that effective, elegant, creative.&#8221;<\/blockquote><br \/>2: Subject: Finding Your Topic (9:35)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cHow do you find a good story idea? &#8230; How do you figure out if it&#8217;s an idea that will work? &#8230; In practical terms, is this subject too narrow or too broad?&#8221;<\/blockquote><br \/>3: Subject: Finding \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.niemanstoryboard.org\/2014\/06\/10\/annotation-tuesday-susan-orlean-and-the-american-man-age-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The American Male at Age Ten<\/a>\u201d (7:15)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cHe could have been any kid, so his individual story wasn&#8217;t the motivation as much as the idea that it explored the very universal larger theme of childhood.&#8221;<\/blockquote><br \/>4: Research: Preparing for Reporting (9:10)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cI think the best reporting often can feel kind of uncomfortable.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>5: Research: Reporting (9:16)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cThe writer should know much, much, much more than what they offer the reader. The reader without even being aware of it is going to be affected by the depth of knowledge that the writer has.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"More...\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.niemanstoryboard.org\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" \/>6: Research: Organizing Notes (9:59)<br \/><blockquote>\u201c\u2026Good nonfiction writing is reporting, thinking and writing. The reason I linger on the thinking is that it\u2019s the one we often forget about.\u201d<br \/><br \/>\u201cBy typing up your notes you reacquaint yourself with them in a deeper way. \u2026 You\u2019re also beginning the editing process, the choice-making.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>7: Writing: Elements of a Story (9:41)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be constantly aware of the texture and the rhythm of your stories.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>8: Writing: Dialogue and Quotes (6:02)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cIf you can do reporting of subjects interacting with each other \u2026 the great advantage you have, then, is that textural exchange, which is the world presented to the reader without your interference.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>9: Writing: Description (4:45)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cIf you take your favorite story and break out what percentage of them is pure description, in the best stories you\u2019ll find that it is a little bit less than you might expect. That is because the descriptions that are in the story are really vivid, really memorable, and remarkably evoke enough that the reader fills in the remainder.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>10: Writing: Expert Opinion (3:16)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cAlmost never is it very appealing to directly quote an expert.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>11: Writing: Conclusions (10:07)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cNo story is ever finished. They end. They do not have to come to a crescendo and a completion that includes a recap and an assessment of everything you\u2019ve already read. In fact, it\u2019s almost an insult to the reader, to do that.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>12: Editing: Revising (9:58)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cThere are three big questions to think about when you\u2019re revising. One \u2026 is: How confident does the piece sound? Anywhere that you find an equivocation (\u201cI think,\u201d \u201cperhaps,\u201d \u201cmight have\u201d) \u2026 step back, and revise. The reader wants to feel that the writer knows the material and is telling the story in a really authentic way.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>13: Editing: Collaboration (3:08)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cThe easiest way to be comfortable hearing criticism, I think, is to not look at your piece as being done. The minute you think it\u2019s done you\u2019re no longer really receptive to input.\u201d<\/blockquote><br \/>14: The Ongoing Work of a Writer (8:51)<br \/><blockquote>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of fear of thesauruses, which I do not have. Because I think a lot of times when you realize you\u2019ve used the same words too many times \u2013 open yourself up to learning new words. Don\u2019t use a thesaurus in a sloppy way where you slam in words you don\u2019t really understand or that actually have connotations that are inaccurate. But work on language. It\u2019s an easy thing to do. Read, collect words, enjoy words, appreciate them, and develop a bigger and bigger toolkit of language to use in your pieces to make them better, brighter, more vivid, more unique.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bestselling author and\u00a0New Yorker\u00a0writer\u00a0Susan Orlean\u00a0breaks down a semester\u2019s worth of storytelling instruction in a two-hour online\u00a0video course for Skillshare.com.
