Nonfiction & Fiction
Readers crave vibrant descriptions of people and places, but all details are not equal! Active, emotion-based details can advance your story’s deepest, most compelling currents.
Readers crave vivid descriptions of people and places, carefully crafted particulars that allow a story—memoir or fiction—to unfurl into vivid reality on the page. But all details are not equal! Description that doesn’t advance the emotional river of a story can have unintended consequences, slowing the pace and clogging the reader’s mind with unneeded flotsam.
Beyond “showing vs. telling,” this webinar will examine how writers can use active, emotion-based detail to supercharge not just the “vividness” of a story, but the underlying yearning that shapes a memoir or novel’s deepest, most compelling currents.
In this webinar, you will:
- DISCOVER the key elements powering vivid description: Context, Movement, and Desire
- EXPLORE which details of character or setting can move the emotional story forward, and which details merely slow things down
- LEARN to translate simple character gestures into intimate, compelling moments that advance the deepest currents of your story
This webinar is ideal for:
- Writers who are uncertain which descriptions are necessary, and when there is too little or too much.
- Writers who want to use character description to shape a story’s deepest, most compelling currents.
- Writers who’d like their work to capture attention and quickly engage agents, editors and readers.
- Writers who want a deeper, more sophisticated understanding of showing and telling
