Although I'm a #ScienceWriter now and thoroughly enjoy #nonfiction of all kinds, I grew up reading fiction almost exclusively (especially fantasy). Because of this, the ins-and-outs of #storytelling is one of my most-favoritest subjects. I also know it's an aspect many people struggle with, so last week, courtesy of the DC Science Writers Association ( #DCSWA ), I spoke with a magazine editor, two authors, and a podcaster about some of their storytelling techniques and ideas.
The Zoom recording was just uploaded today, so now you, too, can learn how to tell the best stories in science! Or, at the very least, enjoy listening to some relatively smart people talk about interesting things like where you can drop off John Waters fan mail or what dramatic genius Matt Stone and Trey Parker have. Either way, it'll be entertaining.
I know it's long, but if you end up watching, I'd be delighted to know what you think! This is my first professional panel, so feedback is important. Thanks!
(P.S. I'm working on the transcription tonight, so hopefully there will be more accurate captions uploaded tomorrow.)
