What Train Wrecks Can Teach Authors About Talking To Media with Dave Pidgeon
In creative nonfiction, authors are often times writing on sensitive topics that occurred in their personal life, which can lend itself to some very difficult questions from the media and/or audience. In this session, let Pidgeon use his personal experiences over the course of six years to help you avoid “reacting” to the question and, instead, use it as more of a platform for your story.
