You want to tell the truth, of course, but what version? How far can you go in exploring the darker side? How fair is it to reveal family secrets? These are questions the workshop considers early on in order to set you free to tell your story as it needs to be told. Topics include: Use of dialogue and natural story telling voice; Audio/visual elements for interviews; Methods of organizing: Hook, lead, grabber; Getting your reader's attention; Exploring the darker side; Telling secrets; How far can you go? Incorporating photos, maps and other documents
