Write Killer Sentences

Description

Writers get so busy nailing down characters and plot that we often forget about the humble sentence. Your story may be great, but do your sentences sing? In this 8-10 week workshop you’ll learn to transform serviceable sentences with arresting prose and sensory images that convey emotion and theme with subtlety. We’ll explore a variety of writing styles, assess and shape your writing voice, and pin down what it means to have a writing style. You’ll tease apart metaphor and simile and play with the sound of words and useful literary devices for prose that wows instead of whimpers.
