What's your favorite heat level for your books? Steamy or super-hot? Or maybe you'd rather leave the details behind closed doors. There's nothing wrong with showing everything or keeping it all under wraps. But you can still stir the reader's emotions while leaving some things under the covers.

It's not what you show, it's how you make the reader feel. Find out how to stir your characters' passions (and your reader's) using descriptive words and imagery.
We'll cover:
  • The build-up – why foreplay is important for your reader
  • Intimacy without going all the way – it's the simple gestures that tell the story for the reader
  • How to develop your own list of words and phrases that you can pull from to stimulate ideas and heat up the action
  • Less is more - how to decide when you should go all the way, or pull back
  • Being a tease – why it's best if the big moment doesn't come too quickly
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.
