FREE Workshop! Making Emotions Concrete - REPLAY
REPLAY available through April 28.
For all writers for children, from picture books through young adult.
To make emotions real to readers, writers need to go beyond the stereotypical eye roll or shrug. Often the tools for making more effective choices already exist in a rough draft. Manuscripts are peppered with objects and character interests that can be used strategically to communicate a character’s emotions to the reader–and make the reader feel them too. Through examples from mentor texts and exercises based on your current work-in-progress, you’ll learn how to use metaphors and objects as concrete expressions of emotion and develop a range of options to incorporate into your work
