Front Page

By JoeB

A young man took photos wherever he went: along the high street, in the shopping mall, among the crowds at the market… Click, click, click.

He didn’t notice what was going on around him.

One summer day, he was walking down the street, snapping away, when he suddenly fell into a newly dug hole. He could not get out. He shouted and shouted, but no one came to rescue him. All he could see, silhouetted against the red-tinged sky, was a girl with a camera.

She was not out to rescue him. He was going to be the next front-page story.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.
