Branch outside of the normal inverted pyramid scheme and into the art of storytelling. On Saturday, Dec. 12 in Portland, Ore., the Society of Professional Journalists hosts a Narrative Writing Workshop that shows you how to use narrative writing to enhance your daily reporting and the strength of your newsroom. Early career reporters and front-line editors are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the workshop, but all are invited to learn options for reinvigorating the writing craft.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tom Hallman Jr. will lead the program in Portland, Ore. The freestyle conversation includes discussion on the following topics:

— Defining narrative writing
— Reporting for narrative
— Long form narrative storytelling
— How you can apply narrative techniques to your daily reporting
— Strategies for your newsroom

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to invest in yourself and your writing!
