Description: Bring Your Writing to Life
Movie or television show directors use camera angles, lighting, and soundtracks to instantly create story worlds for their viewers; stage directors employ lighting, sets, and music. Musicians rely on sound, visual artists on sight.
Writers have only one tool—description—to invoke sights, sounds, atmosphere, mood, and so much more. Learning to effectively wield that tool makes the difference between writing that delivers information and writing that sings the story to life on the page.
In this online writing course, you will learn how to effectively use descriptive techniques to elevate your writing into an immersive reading experience for your readers, including agents and editors.
