Elmore Leonard said, âI try to leave out the parts people skip.â Nothing makes a reader skim more than long, flat passages of description that stop a storyâs momentum. No matter what kind of writing you do (fiction, memoir, poetry, essay), this live webinar offers tips, tricks, and exercises designed to make your descriptions come to life with fresh, original, vivid images. Everyone tells writers âShow donât tell,â and this live webinar will show you how to do that effectively and creatively. Weâll look at lots of published samples where description is doing double- and triple-duty in a story, and youâll write some short samples of your own as well.
