Description

People don’t turn to stories to experience what you, the writer, have experienced—or even what your characters experience. They read to have their own experience. Your job is to facilitate and enhance that experience, and you can’t do it with description. If you want to write strong fiction, the reader’s experience must be an emotional journey of his or her own. Learn and practice the techniques of ‘Emotioneering’ in this 2-part hands-on workshop.
