The Real Deal
Do you think you are a storyteller? Regardless of whether you answer yes or no to this question, you are already a pro at nonfiction storytelling. Any time you talk about something that has happened in your life, you're telling a nonfiction story. The nonfiction genre is writing based on true events, such as biographies, memoirs, newspaper articles, and informational texts to name a few. When you think of nonfiction, think of fact-based information that is describing something that actually happened.
Nonfiction short story writing is essentially the same. When we write nonfiction stories, we are writing about events that actually happened but in a format that reads like a fictional tale.
There are many types of nonfiction literature such as memoirs, opinion or persuasive essays, or even literary criticisms. But for this lesson, we will learn about the short story. Read on to learn everything from choosing a topic to engaging your reader.
Pick a Topic
When it comes to selecting a topic, ask yourself, ''What is the story inside of me that needs to be told?'' The story that means the most to you may be the easiest to write because it provokes the deepest feelings.
If nothing jumps out at you, use the list below to help brainstorm the perfect topic:
Happiest or saddest memory
Life-changing event
A relationship: family member(s), friends, acquaintances, significant other, etc.
A trip or vacation
Sports or activities
Telling someone else's story
There are a million topics you could select, but the most important part of the choice is to write a story that means something to you. You also want to select a topic that can be put into story format, meaning it has a beginning, a conflict, and a conclusion of sorts and will be an interesting read for others that may not know you.
Formatting Our Story
Now that we have our topic, it's time to begin writing. There are many ways to format a story, the most common being chronological order, which is when a story is told from the first event to the last in sequential order. You can also tell a story using flashbacks, which is when an author tells a story in chronological order but flashes back to past memories outside of the story line.
No matter how you format your story, it's important to remember the basics of writing. Think about the plot diagram, the sequence of events in a story. Be sure to give your reader an introduction or background information about the characters, setting and conflict. Next, you want to make sure the story is engaging. The climax, or highest point of tension, is the reason readers want to read your story. Do you have a turning point that will keep your readers turning the page? Lastly, make sure you give your reader some type of closure at the end so the story feels complete. The rest is up to creative interpretation.
Describe the Facts
When it comes to nonfiction writing, you are describing real people, places and events. You may need to take some time to research this factual information to ensure accuracy. Look online for pictures of your setting(s), take trips to actual locations, and speak to people that are/were involved. This doesn't mean though that you have to sacrifice an engaging story just to tell the facts.
Even though nonfiction writing focuses on the truth and facts, it can still include engaging detail that will grab a reader's attention. Much like a fictional story, you can include vivid descriptions of characters, settings, and actions in your nonfiction short story. Just remember to focus on the facts, and then dress them up.
