Bleeding on the Page – Writing Emotion

Whether you write suspense, mystery, memoirs or romance, one of the most important tools in a Writer’s toolbox is the ability to express true emotion on the page.  Emotion is the glue that binds a reader to your characters and to you, as an author.

Laura will explain the tools you’ll need to achieve and refine this skill, including pacing, visceral responses, expanding and contracting time, how to handle backstory and how to achieve deep POV. She’ll illustrate by breaking down examples from Best Selling authors’ novels.
