University of North Texas Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference

“Are You Not Entertained? Real Stories, Real People, Real Storytelling” — The 14th annual Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, hosted by the University of North Texas’ Frank W. Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism. Journalists and writers with a gift for narrative nonfiction and news storytelling will headline the University of North Texas Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference. The highlights include: Diana B. Henriques, a Pulitzer Prize finalist who has covered federal compensation after 9/11, financial exploitation of soldiers and the post-Enron scandals; Lindy West, who has been hailed by actress Lena Dunham for her efforts tackling topics around pop culture, body image and social justice; and Christopher Goffard, the voice behind the popular “Dirty John” investigative podcast, the story of an Internet dating pursuit gone horribly wrong.

Full registration is $225 for students and $425 for others and includes all speaker sessions and several meals. Options for partial registrations, including the keynote-only dinner, are available. Register at http://www.themayborn.com/registration
