The Elements of Narrative Nonfiction

Name some of the huge bestselling books over the years—In Cold Blood; All the President’s Men; The Perfect Storm; Black Hawk Down; Longitude; Jarhead—and they all have one thing in common, they all read like novels. Author and agent Peter Rubie shows the reader how to join journalistic research with riveting, character-driven prose to create what is called narrative nonfiction. This is the only book to focus on writing and marketing the narrative nonfiction “novel.”
