“I learned more tips and tricks for interviews; I learned more about the nature of literary nonfiction and the combination of fact and creative writing; I learned more about literary devices and the need to balance the perspective of the writer vs. the interviewee… I enjoyed the workshop tremendously. Another big boost!”
