Writing Non-Fiction 101 with Dalton Higgins

Through a guided discussion, workshop participants will learn how to turn real life experiences into publishable/salable works and how to engage narratives that resonate with today's readers.

About the Presenter

Dalton Higgins is a publicist, author of seven books, and a National Magazine award-winning journalist. His book Far from Over: The Music and Life of Drake is carried in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame collection in Cleveland, while his best-selling Hip Hop World book is carried in Harvard University’s hip hop archive.

Higgins' writing and scholarship which is largely centred around the worlds of music, pop culture, and sports has led to him being featured on CNN, New York Times, and NPR. His latest book 101 Fascinating Basketball Facts (Dundurn Press) unpacks the myths and realities behind the world’s second most popular sport, breaking down with precision all kinds of wildly interesting and obscure basketball facts tied to height, gender, geography, race, economics, and everything in between.
