Craft Writing with Splash: Enriching Your Writing with Sensory Language with Joan Koster

This is my second class from Joan. I love her teaching style. It doesn't feel like a lecture, but rather a conversation. I learned so much about the senses and also when to use sensory descriptions. I also learned how to use sensory descriptions in effective ways. Joan's assignments are tailored to the lesson and are simple, yet instructive. She gives great feedback, both constructive and kind.

This class was excellent. It gave me ideas on where and how to add sensory elements and also made me pay attention to the places I had already written them.

Fantastic in-depth yet applicable knowledge of our seven senses and how to then take this knowledge and apply it to our writing at the line level. I was somewhat disappointed that examples of integrating the seven senses from printed books were taken from such a narrow genre cross-section of books. I do not write genre romance or speculative fiction, and I would've liked to have seen how acclaimed authors from a wide variety of genres are integrating the seven senses into their work in not just commercial writing, but literary and upmarket fiction as well.
