No mountain-climbing involved here, but feel free to envision trekking up one to take your seat at the feet of this master of the art of creative nonfiction. Get your questions ready for this rare opportunity for a free-ranging session conversation offering information and inspiration from the man who founded Brevity: A Journal of Concise Literary Fiction, which this year marks its 20th anniversary, and has been published in Harpers, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine, Creative Nonfiction, The Southern Review, The Georgia Review, and Utne Reader, among numerous other venues. An acclaimed instructor, Dinty also has written a shelf of books including Crafting the Personal Essay: A Guide to Writing and Publishing Creative Nonfiction; Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy: Advice and Confessions on Writing, Love, and Cannibals; and his most recent, To Hell with It: Of Sin and Sex, Chicken Wings, and Dante’s Entirely Ridiculous, Needlessly Guilt-Inducing Inferno.
