Writing Inspired Scenes

In this session, we will learn about building emotionally engaging scenes through poetic prose and authentic dialogue. Bring your characters and their stories to life!

We'll discuss tightening prose at the line level and balancing descriptive passages, action and dialogue to create scenes that entrance readers. This session is an absolute must for every creative writer!

This session will be recorded and shared. Register even if you can't join live.
