AT FIRST LOOK AT FIRST LEDE, REAL LEAD
Attention subscribers: the latest issue of CNF--First Lede, Real Lead--will be arriving shortly.
Essays in this issue cover a vast array of topics: explaining war to a child; the phases of the moon; ghosts of an insane asylum; prospecting for gold in New Hampshire; reclaiming the land; and more.
What makes this issue special is the insider's guide to the revision and editorial processes: specifically, how to choose a story's best beginning (hint: sometimes it's on page 3).
We gave three of these essays new beginnings and our website will feature a special interactive component that will allow readers to view the stories in their submitted AND published forms. What's more, readers will have the opportunity to join the discussion online and weigh in on the debate: How do you choose a story's best beginning? The best part: this issue will provide invaluable insight that will help strengthen and focus your own writing.
