Fact and Artifact: Writing Nonfiction

by Lynn Z. Bloom

Focuses on the kinds of nonfiction writing that real writers do: writing about people, places, performace, how-to, science, humor, controversy. It treats readers as pre- professional writers who care about style, who are willing to revise their work, and who intend their work to reach a wider audience.
