And now Jon Franklin, himself a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and undisputed master of the great American nonfiction short story, shares the secrets of his success. Franklin shows how to make factual pieces come alive by applying the literary techniques of complication\/resolution, flashback, foreshadowing, and pace. He illustrates his points with a close analysis and annotation of two of his most acclaimed stories, so that the reader can see, step-by-step, just how they were created. This lively, easy-to-follow guid combines readability and excitement with the best of expository prose and illuminates the techniques that beginning journalists--and more experienced ones, too--will find immensely helpful: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStalking the true short story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrafting an effective outline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructuring the rough copy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolishing like a pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand the tips, tools, and techniques that will put your stories on the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Franklin\u003c\/b\u003e is a well-known pioneer in creative nonfiction.
