Entertaining, illuminating and inspiring stories are waiting to be told. All that's lacking is curiosity and a list of good questions. This session will help young writers understand the value of telling untold stories. The process begins with a conversation that stems from a curiosity about another's life. Often, the subjects are people they know well, or think they do. For instance, a neighbor who served in Vietnam, a grandparent who went to Woodstock or a classmate who survived childhood cancer. In this session, tips will be shared on how to interview, report and write stories that go beyond a simple profile or feature.
