Comment on The McPhee method for writing deeply reported nonfiction

Comments

This seems similar to the method used by Robert Greene (and Ryan Holiday who learned it from him, and many others.) I just started using it (as in: I bought notecards and a box to store them.)

This would be a good overview of the method: https://billyoppenheimer.com/notecard-system/

And Umberto Eco wrote a book on this model before Greene. "How to Write a Thesis"

Thank you, now I have to get this and put it in my already too high pile of books to read !
