Attention writers: Whether you're getting ready to publish your book soon or planning to in the future, this is one crucial step you don't want to overlook.
Writers who’ve worked with us at Narratively know we spend alot of time fact-checking our longform pieces. But did you know that book publishers, um … don’t really do that? It’s often just left to the author to check their own work, which can be an expensive and maddening project. That’s why we’re very grateful to have Brad Scriber — who worked as a fact-checker atNational Geographic for decades and served on the National Fact-Checking Advisory Board for the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT — teaching a very unique class for Narratively Academy this week.
In**The Expert’s Guide to Fact-Checking Your Nonfiction Book**, Brad will show writers how to review their own manuscripts with a fact-checker’s eye, how to decide when it’s necessary to call on outside help and how to prepare for that.
Class is thisTuesday, March 18, at 7pm ET, so if you’re interested,sign up ASAP!
P.S.: Interested in this class but need financial assistance? You can quicklyapply for a sliding-scale scholarship here.
