If That Happens

By Jezzy Rim

“By no means, let your boyfriend know that you’re now a shape shifter. If he finds out, he’ll want you to turn into his favorite actress, or pornstar, or a crush, or an ex he still has feelings for. Or even worse, things that aren’t even real, like cartoon characters. You may be a mermaid or an animated character. And if you give in once, he’ll make you do it over and over, and he’ll never let you be yourself again!” the salesgirl, her blood sister, advised her.

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.
