Inspired by Hippocampus Magazine's annual conference, Getting to the Truth: The Craft and Practice of Creative Nonfiction features 20+ essays from some of the event's highest-rated speakers and writers behind a few of our journal's most-read craft columns.

Getting to the Truth is full of real-world insight, practical examples, and even creative nonfiction writing exercises and other prompts. Whether you're new to writing creative nonfiction, want to experiment with new forms of storytelling, or wish to improve your craft, there's something within these pages that will ignite your creativity.

Getting to the Truth, like our conference, is about more than the craft of creative writing. It also covers the writing life, paths to publication, and engaging with your audience. So, this creative nonfiction book is divided into three sections:

•Getting It Down
•Getting Through It
•Getting It Right

Plus, a bonus section at the end with lots of resources and reading recommendations.

A CLOSER LOOK.

The 20+ creative nonfiction essays include deep dives into topics like:

•Imposter syndrome
•Generating story ideas
•Beginnings and endings in creative nonfiction
•Visual essays, lyric essays, and other blending of genres
•Writing about family members
•Memory (and what we don't remember)
•The quiet memoir.

… and so. much. More.

•Eli Aharon
