About True Writer Blog

Writing narrative nonfiction well is hard. Finding information online about writing narrative nonfiction well seems to be even harder. The information either is basic, aimed at memoirists, or scattershot.

Filling in this gap is the goal of True Writer blog. Through in-depth regular posts, the site aims to help readers become better writers and readers (and yes, people, as well).

True Writer is devoted to the Aristotelian proposition that craftsmanship matters more than the craftsman. Acquire the proper habits, practice, learn, and you can achieve balance, proportion, and harmony in your work. As NBA players say, talent and physical gifts alone can only take you so far. To be great, you have to “put in the work.”

Here’s to the right type of work.
