Justice: A Sister’s Drive To Do What’s Right

May 20, 2024 3 Comments

By Rowan Moskowitz

The sky was gray. A chilling silence filled the air around Maya, who stood in front of one of the many graves within the cemetery. Specifically, the grave that held the rotting body of her older sister, Regina Faymoth, who had been brutally murdered in 2016. The case had gone cold, leaving her family to forever mourn in silence with no justice given.

Now, seven years later and with a degree in law and criminology under her belt, Maya was ready to finally get the justice their family deserved.

“Your death will not go unpunished, Regina,” Maya whispered before walking off.

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.
