Starts: Thursday, October 06 6:30 PM

Ends: Thursday, October 06 9:30 PM

This three-hour workshop will teach students how to craft narrative long-form articles in the style of magazines like Esquire and The New Yorker.

Journalism does not have to be stodgy and conform to the so-called “inverted pyramid” of facts. Your Third Verb instructor will explain how you can craft a riveting true story with nothing but the facts and an arsenal of interview questions. You'll learn to apply traditional story principles to your subjects, such as tension and release and characterization, in order to create gripping stories that goes beyond the headlines.

All it takes is time and an ear for detail. This workshop will break down the best narrative journalism techniques applied to researching, interviewing, structuring and fact-checking your story, as well as helping you find your market.
