We start Feb. 1st and go through Feb. 28th.
We’ll be teaching a 30-day writing challenge course on editing your novel.
In this course, you’ll get: - Hands-on group feedback to build your sensory palette and cement your understanding
- Live editing demos with concentrated attention on your manuscript
- Four live group calls for support and accountability
- Course materials to further explore the 20+ senses
- Private group for discussion, accountability, and sharing.
Many authors think that a strong plot and compelling characters are enough to make their stories work. But actually, you need to build an emotional connection with your readers, immerse them into the story world, and make them care deeply so they will keep turning the pages.
Humans are wired for story. This happens due to our natural ability to match and mirror. Scientists call this mechanism “mirror neurons.” How can we take advantage of this in our writing?
We will explore this via the five senses and beyond. In fact, we will discuss more than 20 senses.
We’ll cover how to use these senses to clarify your setting, enhance character goals and motivations, and focus in on cadence and rhythm, all to heighten and strengthen the reader connection.
You’ll walk away from this 4-week course with specific tools you can implement in your fiction to craft compelling prose.
We want you to have raving fans.
Details: Four calls (the four Tuesdays in February, all recorded, all live at 5:30pm PT/8:30pm ET, 90-120 minutes long); Private Facebook group; Course curriculum; hands-on demos; and more.
Only $99 with your coupon: PEN80
Last day to register is tonight, Friday, Jan. 27, 9pm Pacific.
Here's to you and your creativity!
All my best, Beth
PS. On another note, I'll be interviewed at 3pm PT/6pm ET on the Speculative Fiction Cantina. Details here.
