The Interview

The Interview

By Eddie D. Moore

Ann’s father parked the car and took the phone out of her hands. “Good luck with your interview.”

Rolling her eyes, Ann stepped out of the car and walked inside. The manager was waiting at a table and waved her over.

“Good morning, Ann. You’re my first interview for the day. It’s nice to meet you.” Joyce glanced at the application. “Tell me, why would you like to work here?”

Ann’s eyes flashed toward the door and her confiscated phone. “My dad is making me get a job.”

Joyce blinked twice, and then smiled falsely. “We’ll call if we need you.”

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.
