- Terry Tempest Williams - Analyze your motivation for writing, its value, and its strength.
- Alan Cheuse - Discover how interesting, compelling essays can be drawn from every corner of your life and the world in which you live.
- Phillip Lopate - Build your narrator-yourself-into a fully fleshed-out character, giving your readers a clearer, more compelling idea of who is speaking and why they should listen.
- Robin Hemley - Develop a narrative strategy for structuring your story and making it cohesive.
- Carolyn Forche - Master the journalistic ethics of creative nonfiction.
- Dinty W. Moore - Use satire, exaggeration, juxtaposition, and other forms of humor in creative nonfiction.
- Philip Gerard - Understand the narrative stance-why and how an author should, or should not, enter into the story.

Through insightful prompts and exercises, these contributors help make the challenge of writing creative nonfiction-whether biography, true-life adventure, memoir, or narrative history-a welcome, rewarding endeavor.

You'll also find an exciting, creative nonfiction "reader" comprising the final third of the book, featuring pieces from Barry Lopez, Annie Dillard, Beverly Lowry, Phillip Lopate, and more-selections so extraordinary, they will teach, delight, inspire, and entertain you for years to come!
