I have changed nothing below in this advert I found on the Creative Nonfiction Magazine website:
Turning Trauma into Treasure
Washington, DC
September 20
This intense, day-long program with CNF Editor Lee Gutkind will present the art and craft of memoir writing, explaining how to capture traumatic stories in a way that touches and impacts readers.
During this intense and entertaining day, participants will learn how to:
• find the precious nugget of the story
• isolate the crucial magic moment
• infuse the story with a universal chord
• develop a narrative arc
• frame and focus the story
• capture essential intimate details
• share their hard-earned, hard-learned wisdom
$275 registration fee includes a 4-issue subscription to Creative Nonfiction. (After August 20, $290.)

Have you been raped? Have your people suffered genocide? You may have an exciting career waiting...
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. —H. L. Mencken
I love it that they charge an extra $15 after a certain August deadline.
Why?
Because.
Who can save me from the trauma of reading nonfiction? WHO CAN SAVE ME?
You'll learn to share your "hard-earned, hard-learned wisdom." What if you didn't earn or learn nothing? Will you learn to make up some wisdom? Now *that* might be worth $275.
That day does not sound entertaining to me, for the record.
And speaking of pop-culture insults, has anyone noticed that Crate & Barrell is now calling itself... CB2?
Lance, Jeffrey, et al: they're ripping you off!
