*Workshop size limited to 40 participants. CLICK HERE TO REGISTERWORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
Memorable stories are rooted in emotion, and your ability to deliver an emotional experience time and time again often correlates to your success with readers. In this workshop, dive into how emotion informs your fiction from three different angles: Writer, Reader, and Character. In a three-part workshop with Agent Angie Hodapp, learn how to deepen readers’ emotional experience of your stories using suffering, sacrifice, jeopardy, joy, and—yes!—sexual tension. Discover not only how but also where along your story’s structural arc to plant moments of emotional poignancy. Explore your use of body language, gestures, and other emotional cues on the page, and drill down into how to make
unlikable, inscrutable, or non-emotive characters resonate with readers. FORMAT:
Writing assignments, group discussions, and passages from bestselling writers in the women's-fiction, book club, and upmarket fiction spaces will help you make connections you can immediately use when writing and revising emotionally irresistible fiction. INSTRUCTOR BIOGRAPHY:
