Description

First, Kat discusses how to write difficult subject matter into your fiction or non-fiction manuscripts and the importance of putting a content warning on any of your work that might have something triggering for your readers. Then, listen as she chats with nonfiction author, teacher, editor, and coach, Arnie Bernstein. Topics covered include:

what drew him to writing about these forgotten stories in America’s history
how he structured his book, Bath Massacre
the research process for his narrative nonfiction
interviewing survivors
how he knew this was a story he could and should tell
writing a “fake” villain vs. writing a real one
his love of typewriters
the writing craft book he can’t live without
his blog series on how to do research for narrative nonfiction writing
tips on writing narrative nonfiction

Please note there is talk of some of the subject matter covered in some of his books, including America's first school bombing/mass killing, and some German-American history/swastikas/nazism.
