New York Times Features Writer Steven Kurutz on the Fine Art of Story Hunting

from Open Book with Narratively Academy · host Narratively Academy

Thanks so much to everyone who joined our live chat on Friday with Creative Nonfiction founder Lee Gutkind and New York Times features writer Steven Kurutz. Steven has written so many fantastic articles over the years, and it was incredible to get his insight into how to find great stories—and figure out how and where to tell each one. (We had a few technical difficulties which meant Steven had to be off-camera, but we rolled with it!) Click play above to listen to the full conversation. We’re making this video free to all.
