An in-depth look at the practice of excellent journalistic writing, from pitch to sentence to story, with Adam Sternbergh, a contributing editor at New York magazine and Vulture, and the former culture editor for the New York Times Magazine. With emphases on how to craft an irresistible pitch by learning the difference between an event, an idea, an opinion, and a story; how to recognize the best style for the story you want to tell, from individual sentences to overall structure; how to know where to start (the perfect lede) and where to finish (the perfect kicker); and how to write journalism that’s both great writing and great journalism (they’re not always the same thing).
