South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch

Writers Center Conference Room (65)

With 2026 Writer in Residence Brad Ricca

In this session, we will discuss the ins and outs of narrative nonfiction: what it is, what it should be, and how it can help you tell powerful stories about real life. Are there rules to it? Should there be? And what does nonfiction mean, anyway? By the end of our time, writers will have a plan and a set of tools for how to adapt real-life historical events into stories that matter.

Brad Ricca, Cuyahoga County Public Library's 2026 Writer in Residence, is the award-winning author of seven books. His latest, released in October 2025, is Lincoln's Ghost: Houdini's War on Spiritualism and the Dark Conspiracy Against the American Presidency. His earlier works include Super Boys: The Amazing Adventures of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster – the Creators of Superman (winner of the Ohioana Book Award); Mrs. Sherlock Holmes: The True Story of New York City's Greatest Female Detective and the 1917 Missing Girl Case That Captivated a Nation; and True Raiders: The Untold Story of the 1909 Expedition to Find the Legendary Ark of the Covenant.

Involved with CCPL throughout his writing career as a frequent speaker at library branches, Ricca joined Henry Winkler in 2023 as part of the William N. Skirball Writer’s Center Stage Series, presented by the CCPL Foundation and Case Western Reserve University.

Ricca has a PhD from Case Western Reserve University, where he was awarded the Richard A. Bloom, MD, Award for Distinguished Teaching.
