Event Overview

The online world is flooded with personal narratives. From influencers to new media to memoir writers, sharing our stories has become the most powerful way to connect with an audience.

Yet writing a compelling narrative takes skill, nerve, and more than a little vulnerability. In this Keynote, Lauren Chambliss, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Communication at Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, reveals the essential techniques that transform creative nonfiction — true stories, well told — into unforgettable storytelling.
