The senses, when written effectively, can transport a reader into a story, offering resonance, connection and powerful narrative. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to use the six senses as a literary tool to create scenes, sense of place, impactful characters and more. The workshop will include a short lesson, readings, group discussion and independent writing time.
This class takes place online using Zoom.
