It’s one of the first things an author is told he/she should do, but getting it right isn’t always easy. Still, it is often the difference between an okay book, and one a reader can’t put down. Find out ways to make your storytelling exciting and evocative.

Topics include…

· Why is this concept so important?
· The importance of point of view and dialogue.
· How to know if something should be shown, rather than told about.
· Active/passive voice
· Tricks to flush out ‘telling scenes’
Class Format
Savvy Authors' workshops are held on a forum: a bulletin board based system. You will receive a reminder notice one day prior to the start of the workshop that includes instructions on how to access the workshop forum. If you have not received instructions by the day the workshop begins, please check your spam filter.

The forum will be available the morning (EST) of the day the workshop starts and will remain accessible to all participants thereafter. You will also be given simple instructions on how to create a PDF of all your discussions along with our privacy and data retention policy.

Brenda gave us great tools to use and I'll be using her reference notes as I make progress on my current book. I would definitely enroll in another of her lectures.
