"Fellow journalists and memo writers, here is a book to keep close at hand. Not only does Goldberg nail all the ingredients of good writing and reporting, but she also provides an illuminating set of examples from the very best in the industry. It reads the way a book on writing should read." --Erik Wemple, media critic, The Washington Post "Digital disruption, creative destruction, revolutionary technology, the fall and rise of old and new journalism and publishing paradigms--amid all this noise and opportunity, good writing and honest, well-crafted reporting endure. Julia Goldberg's transcendently intelligent guide offers any fact writer who aspires to navigate the 21st century a beautifully stocked toolbox of advice, strategies, craft wisdom, encouraging examples, and hard-won perspectives on getting the job done right. Beyond its up-to-date practical wealth, Inside Story inspires by being the kind of stylish, authoritative, and vividly alive creative nonfiction it will empower its readers to make." --Hal Espen, former editor of Outside Magazine "Don't read Inside Story without a highlighter! Every reporter--from a greenhorn to a veteran--will find helpful tools, tricks and lessons about the craft of reporting and writing." --Mark Zusman, editor and publisher of Willamette Week, a Pulitzer prize-winning weekly "From characterization to structure, interviewing to ethics, Julia Goldberg's Inside Story: Everyone's Guide to Reporting and Writing Creative Nonfiction covers the full range of techniques, genres, and opportunities available to writers of fact. As an added bonus, she does it with flair, feistiness, and intelligence. A great new guide to the nonfiction craft." --Dinty W. Moore, author of The Mindful Writer "Who needs a four-year journalism degree or a two-year master's when you have this book? Julia's tome distills the wisdom, wit, fearlessness, judiciousness and sheer joy that all great nonfiction writers need in easy-to-read prose and with great case studies. If you don't win a Pulitzer after reading Inside Story, then you didn't read it close enough." --Gustavo Arellano, editor of OC Weekly and author of !Ask a Mexican! Inside Story has at least two features no other craft book does. I love its section on reporting. And I am passionately enthusiastic about its generative discussion of the various shapes an essay or article might take. It rejects merely linear form as well as journalistic or academic prescriptions. This is the perfect book for beginning and advanced writers of creative nonfiction, and I will use it in my classroom. --Debra Monroe, author of My Unsentimental Education "This is the creative nonfiction guide we've been waiting for--as informed and thoughtful as a D'Agata or Lopate anthology, but with the practical and generous perspective of a writer who's done it all, from teaching to journalism to online curation. Julia Goldberg's new book, Inside Story, offers a uniquely ideal combination of personal perspective, practical examples, inspiring anecdotes from literary history, and a whole host of helpful challenges and prompts. I'd trust any writer and editor whose trunk was once filled to the brim with yellow notepads." --Nathan Deuel, author of Friday Was the Bomb: Five Years in the Middle East "In the wise and thoroughly entertaining Inside Story, Julia Goldberg divulges the many truths of nonfiction writing, any one of which should be of immense help to writers embarking upon projects of most any genre. But beyond being a hands-on, practical guide to the craft of writing, it's also a smart, honest, and most deliciously irreverent dispatch from the real world of writing from a real-world writer." --T Cooper, author of Real Man Adventures and Changers "Julia Goldberg's Inside Story is so much more than a genius book about craft, although it's the most accessible and enjoyable book about craft I've ever read. This book is for teachers, of course, but it's also for writers who are looking, in their o
