Jake’s 12 now. A year ago, on Lake Erie’s rocky shore as the sun bled into green water, Jake huddled next to Vicky, his best friend who lived across the street their entire lives, and as her voice cracked as she heaved out her secret, revealing the terrible things her stepfather committed, Jake reached for her hand, trembling. Later, police officers yanked him out of bed, dragged him to juvie where he stood before a judge in a crisp white shirt, broke a promise and confessed to what he did and why, and explained how he stole his mother’s Colt 45.
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.
