Glenn Stout is the series editor of Best American Sports Writing and the author of the book The Selling of the Babe: The Deal that Changed Baseball and Created a Legend.
Over the last year, Stout has been working with nonfiction writers when it comes to developing book proposals. From July 14-16, he’ll be doing a workshop on that subject at the Archer City Story Center in Archer City, Texas. Stout will also be on the faculty of the story center's week-long literary nonfiction workshop, which takes place July 23-30.
Archer City is the hometown of Larry McMurtry, and is the inspiration for the setting of his novel The Last Picture Show. The story center is just about a year old, and is starting to offer more workshops that aim to help all sorts of storytellers.
Host Matt Tullis will also be doing a workshop there this summer, one focused on developing a podcast. That workshop will take place the the weekend of August 11-13.
