These include writing dialogue, especially when you have nothing to quote verbatim; character building, especially when you don’t have personal experience of your characters; and making different timelines work together. In our Apr. 30 webinar with Lynne Melcombe, learn how to rise to these and other challenges as an editor of creative nonfiction. Sign up now: webinars.editors.ca (link in bio)
