About the webinar

About the webinar

When you feel as if your prose is flat or banal, try upping your writing game by focusing on themes. Converting abstract concepts into concrete examples resonates with readers by getting them thinking and reflecting on their lives and beliefs. This webinar analyzes strategies to add thematic heft by integrating symbolic imagery, atmospheric descriptions, and visual and word allegories. This live webinar includes time for questions.
