In this webinar, author and journalist Ethan Lou exposes the many investigative techniques he’s used to spin a good yarn and tackles such as: what can or can’t you write about people? How do you craft compelling nonfiction when you’ve got little to go on and the very subjects at its centre want nothing to do with you? How do you write dynamic characters and scenes with limited information? Interviewing other people surrounding your difficult subject is just the start. From running names through the courts to filing freedom-of-information requests and hunting down a decades-old graduate thesis, journalist and author Ethan has done it all.
