Tomorrow! Reporter, Sleuth, Storyteller, Spy

Gearing up for a research-intensive writing project? Join us for this 90-minute guide to investigating like a pro.

A reporter, author and writing coach whose work has appeared in publications ranging from The Washington Post to BuzzFeed, Amelia Possanza became an amateur archivist in the course of writing her acclaimed book Lesbian Love Story: A Memoir in Archives, named a Best Book of 2023 by NPR, Harper’s Bazaar and Publishers Weekly. She conducted extensive interviews, listened to hours of oral history tapes, read unpublished dissertations, visited public and private archives and retraced the steps of her research subjects across New York City. Now she’ll walk you through how to take a similarly exhaustive approach to your own research-heavy writing project.
