What Creative Writers Can Learn from Journalists: A Craft Talk by Ada Calhoun
Author Ada Calhoun has worked as a journalist and editor for dailies, weeklies, monthlies, and the web. She’s conducted interviews and filed copy around the country from coffee shops, libraries, and rental cars. She’s since become a memoirist and writer of creative non-fiction, but maintains the habits of a beat reporter. In this talk, Calhoun will discuss the ways in which journalistic techniques like library research, fact-checking calls, and writing at various lengths and for different editors can help writers in creative fields, especially those who find themselves periodically stuck for inspiration or motivation.
