About this Event

Write What You Learn: Diving deep down the rabbit hole to build authentic stories. From writing about the infamous Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle trial of 1921 to revisiting his childhood in 1985 for a comic spy adventure, former newspaper reporter Ace Atkins knows all great stories start with research. Atkins will discuss finding key details in everything from vintage detective magazines to tracking down first hand sources.
