Description

"Instructive and essential, reading Storycraft is like finding the secret set of blueprints to the writer's craft. Better still, it is engaging, funny, and wise—wonderful to read and wonderful to learn from."

"Instructive and essential, reading Storycraft is like finding the secret set of blueprints to the writer's craft. Better still, it is engaging, funny, and wise—wonderful to read and wonderful to learn from."

 “When I think back on what I have learned about storytelling over the last 30 years, the trail of memory leads back time and again to Jack Hart. No one has done more to inspire better narrative writing in America.”

“This book is a master class in narrative nonfiction, a must-read for anyone who wants to tell true stories. Whether you’re a novice writer or seasoned veteran, you will learn from Hart’s insight and examples culled from decades of coaching and editing some of the country’s best reporters. He shows us how to seek scenes, build structure, explore voices, write riveting stories—then make them sing.”

"It’s no small feat to make the best better. Yet Jack Hart does just that with the updated version of Storycraft. Of the scores of journalism books on my shelves, Hart’s work is among the most essential. He puts language and structure behind the mysterious process of writing, with examples that give any journalist—from student to award-winning—work to aspire to. If you’re looking for a guide that is as useful as it is inspirational, this is it."

“Jack Hart was hands-down the best narrative editor ever to work in newspapers.”

"Jack Hart is one of the country's foremost writing coaches. Generations of writers found their voices, found their stories, found their heroes, heroines and villains in the news. Under his leadership the whole news industry learned a new way of connecting with its readers. I know I did. The lessons he teaches are about storytelling, structuring, pacing, tension and conflict.These lessons are perhaps even more important now in a digital age that sometimes forgets that—without a story to tell—words, videos, graphs, graphics, emails, alerts and news bulletins are just so much noise."

Jack Hart is to writing coaches as Bill Belichick is to football coaches: the best of all time. In Storycraft he shares what he’s learned over a lifetime of working with writers on non-fiction narratives that won nearly every major journalism prize including the Pulitzer.

Jack Hart is an author, writing coach, and former managing editor at the Oregonian. He has taught at six universities and served as the acting dean at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication.
