Want to elevate your writing with powerful language and compelling storytelling techniques? In this workshop, we’ll explore word choice, defamiliarization, narrative positioning, and the art of description over exposition to help you craft more engaging and immersive stories.
- Word Choice – Discover how the evolution of the English language influences writing and learn to choose words critically and carefully to maximize impact.
- Defamiliarization – Transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Learn how to make familiar things feel fresh and vivid, deepening emotional engagement.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) – Understand how language shapes perception and how strategic word placement can subtly guide a reader’s emotions and memory.
- Narrative Positioning – Master different perspectives, avoid common viewpoint shifts, and craft a clear, compelling narrator’s voice.
- Description over Exposition – “Show, don’t tell” is easier said than done. Learn when and how to immerse your readers in a scene without over-explaining.
Whether you’re looking to refine your prose or strengthen your storytelling techniques, this workshop will give you the tools to make your writing more precise, evocative, and impactful.
